Controversial Victory
A horse trainer who recently made a comeback from a ten-year drugs ban has caused a stir by winning the prestigious Breeders' Cup Classic. Rick Dutrow Jr., who was banned in 2011 for medication violations, led his horse White Abarrio to victory in the Santa Anita race.
A Miraculous Comeback
The victory marks a miraculous comeback for Dutrow, who was handed a decade-long ban and fined $50,000 for his involvement in unauthorized medication and administration violations in his barn. Despite his ban, Dutrow recently returned to training horses and his win in the Breeders' Cup Classic is a significant achievement.
A 'Sour Taste' for Some
However, not everyone is thrilled with Dutrow's success. Angus McNae, a respected horse racing pundit in the UK, expressed his disappointment, saying that Dutrow's victory left a 'sour taste' in his mouth. It remains to be seen how others in the racing world will react to Dutrow's controversial win.
