Dutrow: 'I Think I'm Good for Racing Game'

[twogunsid]

From Bloodhorse.com: Embattled trainer Rick Dutrow made a plea for his career June 3, when he told a New York hearing officer considering a license revocation case against him that he has been good for the Thoroughbred industry.

Testifying as the last defense witness in the three-day hearing by a New York State Racing and Wagering Board hearing officer, Dutrow denied any knowledge of how a drug made it into the urine sample of one of his horses or how syringes were found in one of his barns.

“I wouldn’t do something improper with any of my horses,’’ Dutrow said, as a lawyer for the board brought up a long history of the trainer’s run-ins with regulators in New York and other jurisdictions.

“I’ve done really good in the game … and I wouldn’t risk that for anything,’’ Dutrow said during questioning before Clemente Parente, the hearing officer who is not expected to issue his recommendation in the case to the full racing board until probably August.

This headline makes me laugh. Big Brown's former trainer needs to be banned from the sport.
