I expect Dutrow will get a minimum 6 month suspension and, more likely one year.

Will it hold in court? Nobody knows but how much is Dutrow willing and able to spend on legal fees to challenge?

That seems to be the real question to me.

Does it really matter as his string will be passed to his assistants and he will manage from the clubhouse so to speak. You want to put teeth into this then ban all horses currently under training by Durtow from New York racetracks for the duration of his ban. This will certainly be a major detterent to this type of crap.

so, you're suggesting that since there are other cheaters, none of them should be taken to task? i disagree. are we supposed to just put up our hands and say that's life, and give up? i don't think so. that's more turning a blind eye, isn't it?

owners would still win without crooked trainers. right?
