Love the horse, but that trainer's irritating

3) another tax on my winnings for the year (should I be so lucky)

4) ridiculously poor quality DATA and VIDEO system wide

5) problems even getting a bet in while tracks, horsemen and ADW's jockey for position.

Not to mention all the interesting 'RACE' events of this past weekend that have hardly been covered in any of the threads.

HOWEVER

these aren't real issues. THE REAL ISSUE is the character of DUTROW.

That's what affects the daily routine of the typical handicapper.

As we would say in my neighborhood: GET THE **** OUT OF HERE WITH THIS ****.

Pay a $100 day rate and see if you like racing against horses that might be getting an unfair advantage.
