MD stewards had no choice here but to DQ the Dutrow colt. But the question is why did they allow him to run in the first place having arrived after the 2 hour cutoff to be on the grounds and when they knew he was getting a late lasix shot?

Owner Jim Riccio appealing the DQ. Says exactly what I was suggesting: MD knew the horse got on grounds late and got Lasix shot late and if they knew that, they shouldn't have let him run.

![]() From both articles, it doesn't appear that the stewards were aware of the situation before post time.

Rick Dutrow...you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him. |
