He Might Be Right

… on both counts. Said trainer Rick Dutrow in today’s NTRA teleconference:

I have been trying to be humble and modest … I don’t feel like I’m talking big, I feel like I’m talking facts.

And earlier in the call:

I feel like it’s a foregone conclusion. I expect [Big Brown] to win this race.

I will give Dutrow this: He is charismatic, his confidence is compelling. And he hasn’t been wrong about Big Brown yet.

I’m telling you man, lemonade stands, owners of modest means, breeders overcoming illnesses – that stuff ain’t done shit for this sport. Give this joker a reality show on MTV and we may just see something happen!! :-)
(am I allowed to curse on Railbird?)

I would totally tune in to that show, babe. Let’s hope some producer is out there pitching the concept now …

Dutrow’s winner in the first today? Last Train Babe.
Oh, Jessica, are you going over to the dark side?
