Wolfson only improves real big off of bums like Bill Mott.

Not Dutrow.

Apparently if he hadn't have won the eclipse award, he would have stayed retired. That's some USDA Grade AAA Prime bullsh1t right there and is classically Iavarone:

"After examining Benny the Bull, Dr. [Larry] Bramlage said he felt his injury had healed sufficiently and that he could come back at 100 percent again," said Iavarone. "We actually made the final decision to bring him back about two weeks ago and decided to wait to announce it until tonight at the awards ceremony. But under one condition: that he won the Eclipse. If he won, we wanted to bring him back to defend the title. If he had not won, he would have stayed retired. Fortunately, Benny got the recognition he deserved by being named the champion."


I'm sure if he would have lost, there would have been a press release about his return is to "silence his critics who slighted him by passing him over for an Eclipse."

Maybe the boy can put a believable on spin boiler room penny stocks, but he's got a lot of work to do if he thinks he's going to bamboozle the horse racing community.

BTW, has anyone heard of what ever became of his claims that terrorists were after him if "something happened to Big Brown" ?
