It's been three weeks now since Big Brown went for the Triple Crown and finished last. Trainer Rick Dutrow still doesn't know what went wrong in the race. He is also wondering why the media and the fans are ganging up on him. In his first news conference since the Belmont, the trainer wants to know why all the negative stuff and wishes it would stop. If he wasn't so arrogant and ready to talk trash, maybe people would not be so quick to "gang up on you". Dutrow has got more press then anyone in horse racing for the past few months. More attention came his way after he received a 15-day suspension by Kentucky racing. He received this suspension for another horse in training and exceeded the allowable limit for a drug that enables horses to breathe easier while exercising. This happened at Churchill Downs on May 2, the day before Big Brown won the big one the Kentucky Derby. When speaking to the media Friday at Aqueduct Racetrack "It's my responsibility, but it's not my fault," Dutrow said, he went on to say”It's just a mistake that happened but it's not as big a deal as everyone is trying to make it out to be. "I'm just getting flooded with everybody calling me all the time with negative stuff. I wish it would all stop." Dutrow is planning to run Big Brown in the Haskell at Monmouth Park, and come back just twenty days later on short rest to run in the Travers at Saratoga, and then he plans to run him in his last race of his career Breeders' Cup Classic on Oct. 25 at Santa Anita. Caught once a year for nine years? Now we know why Big Brown was "big" don't we? Well, crime pays because he won two huge races and purses even though that horse could have been doped worse than the MLB in the days prior to the race. I wonder how many times you need to dope horses before you’re banned from horse racing. I have told everyone before in previous articles that Dutrow would get suspended soon for doping, and a month later here we are. He is a real jerk and greedy in my opinion what they should do is change his name to DUMBTROW. What is a "15-day suspension", nothing in my opinion; he will not dope his horse for 15 days? He will be right back at it after that. All this money he has earned for a 15-day suspension, and he can still run his horse just under another name. What they need to do is bar him from the track for at least a year. Can this guy take some accountability once in his life? He say's this isn't a big deal, and it is way overblown and so on, but he has been caught once a year for nine years. This is a slap on the wrist. 2008 Breeders’ Cup Schedule of Races:
