Kentucky committee denies Dutrow a racing license
By Matt Hegarty

FLORENCE, Ky. – A Licensing Review Committee of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Wednesday denied Rick Dutrow a racing license, putting in jeopardy the trainer’s ability to start horses at any time this year in the state.

The review committee, meeting in a conference room of the offices of Travis Burr, chairman of the Licensing Review Committee, denied the license after questioning Dutrow for just more than hour about his license application, which was filed Tuesday afternoon.

In voting unanimously to deny the license, the committee approved a motion citing seven sections of Kentucky racing law, including “misrepresentations” on the license application and “conduct against the best interest of racing.”

Following the vote, Dutrow said he did not know if he would appeal. Asked if he was treated fairly during the hearing, Dutrow said “I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter.”

We'll see if the snake will figure out a way around it.

I'm assuming that if he isn't licensed, then he can not get stalls, right?

IEAH gets it where the sun don't shine also in having to scratch their horses!

WIN WIN

I assume this means Court Vision is out Friday, right?

Read the phucking article.

Ouch!!!
:eek:

I feel bad for dutrow. It's like bonds w roids. Somebody is going to be made an example of and Dutrow is cocky enough that it's going to be him. I hope racing doesn't ultimately take away his livelyhood, the only thing the guys ever done.

Good :tro: We'll see how he tries to get around it.

How long does it take to transfer a horse to another trainer and get licensed by the state?

I was hoping to see Court Vision run.

To be fair he didn't have time...he had to start a thread about it on every other racing site on the web...along with all the other negative complaining ones.

Cheaters and stealers always seem to survive....

They have wanted Dutrow for a long time

When you have guys strangling their wives riding for 750k is it fair to take away a guys livelyhood for overages, or positives, that don't warrant the crime? Whether people think he cheats should be inconsequential. Show why, on paper, definitively, why he's being denied a licnese. Even cheaters, liars, thievs, murderers, should be granted a due process.

my heart goes out to him :rolleyes:

I disagree with this 10000%. This is for a racing license, not a court case. The committee has the right to deny anyone.

Why after granting a license to a convicted felon over and over they finally decide.... Ah this year I don't think so. I'm sure he filled out the paperwork the same he always has. What makes his ninety first positive different than the 90th? What makes him breaking into a slot machine relevant when it hasn't been prior?

Anti trust.. Regardless what line of work somebody is in I think it's wrong to deny them a livelyhood w out sufficient reason. There should be very clear rules throughout racing and there aren't.

The best part is that felony is because he broke into a slot machine in Nevada.

On all licenses, it asks you if you have been convicted of a felony, and usually within the next question or two is asks if it involved gaming and book making

I think that there is certainly sufficient reason. A livelihood isn't being denied, a professional license is. If you own a bar and the state won't renew your liquor license after finding some violations isn't that denying someone a livelihood? Well that happens all the time. If you're a lawyer and you get disbarred (essentially the same thing as losing your license) isn't that taking away a livelihood? If you drive trucks for living and lose you drivers license isn't that denying someone a livelihood?

If he stopped getting positive tests and stopped getting suspended and did simple things like filling out his own application or taking it serious enough to make sure it was correct he would not be in the predicament that he is in. You can blame whoever you want, you can say they have it out for him, etc but the fact is he has no one to blame but himself.

There may be sufficient reason but what's the difference in this year or last? He broke into a slot machine like a racoon in a trashcan years ago. There is no consistency and I think that's a major issue. Now he's going to
be a scapegoat for many guys who push the envelope and I think that's unfair

Training horses has to be his livelyhood, whatelse could he possibly do? If you're going to take somebodies quality of living and livelyhood away then it shouldn't be a subjective process or because a couple guys dislike his personality.

maybe he pulls a manny and rides off into the sunset.
