Im just saying that THE BID has an excellent point.....that they never would have denied him a license when he had Big Brown coming for the Derby.;)

That part seems like more of a trap to me than anything......

If they want to give this teeth they should not allow him to transfer his horses. Any horse under his care as of the date of the suspension should not be allowed to race in Kentucky for the duration of the ban. Trainers not wanting to lose owners is lot more incentive than a suspension.

There is a question which will ultimately be asked of KHRA that they will never be able to answer well. Why was Dutrow licensed in 2010? What are they going to say? We only license trainers with up to 57 violations not 60? And once they admit that the reason is new violations then the cat is out of the bag on procedure and precedent.. How much money are they going to waste defending their position when they have virtually no chance of suceeding..

Does the commission invite you to apply? Do you want a racing license to cost $1000 a year instead of $100? You are applying, they ask you for your information. It really isn't that complicated.

And there is no excuse for not having an accurate list of violations. If you go into virtually any licensing office or contact the RCI you can get a printout of all your violations to attach to the license application. To not have the application filled out properly especially when he knows the heat is on is indefensible.

Are you kidding? Dutrow's inability to fill out an application properly despite being given fair warning that he was having a hearing makes for a tough argument.

As far as I have ever heard in these cases the states are undefeated. It is their license, they make the rules and they can interpret them as they want. The only people wasting money will be Dutrow's lawyers.

Chuck Dutrow maybe the biggest cheat ever and frankly I could careless if he trains ever again, but at least admit its a witch hunt.. The guy had 50 mil positives in 2010, now lo and behold a few more broke the camels back? Have a heart its a capricious attack.

But that would be too efficient and racing comms don't work that way.....

Witch hunts are conducted on people who aren't witches. Dutrow is a witch. He may not be the queen witch but a witch nonetheless. And even witches can conduct their business in a proper manner. Because he and others have skated for years doesn't mean it is right and doesn't mean it should continue.

So basically you are suggesting that indeed Dutrow has not changed his spots and hence what has changed is the state and their licensing practices..If so then such change should be on record and be consisent for all.. Are you attempting to suggest that only Dutrow has had a new positive(or multiples) and is the ONLY person that has issues? Or are you says the state can simply use the best interest in racing clause without due process?
