This is a pathetic argument. 25 years of training? Try about 12. Most of those other years he had 1 or 2 horses.

2.5 violations a year? Are you serious? You think that is an acceptable number?

The problem with this business is that no one has been willing to throw guys who refuse to follow the rules out. No other sport would ever allow such blatant rules violations to keep continuing. If he was a NCAA football coach he would have been fired long ago and no one would be crying about his rights. He makes Barry Bonds and Roger Clemons look like good citizens.

Someone has to be first. Dutrow has earned it.

it's not as tho the sport would miss him either. plenty of trainers out there, many who follow the rules.
