problem here is the same people that stick up for scum like dutrow are putting down rapid redux's accomplishments.
seems to me that this whole thing is the same type of thing as the whole tebow story. no one in their right mind is comparing him to a brady but once again it's a cute story in a sport filled with bad people like big ben.

The cutest part of the story for me is owner Cole that had to be browbeaten into retiring millionaire Shake You Down instead of running him for $5k. It's so cute when that happens... And it's heart-warming having Cole lauded when he's almost certainly sent countless horses he's used up on the track off to slaughter. I love that part of the cute story.
