Richard E. Dutrow, Jr.
Richard E. "Rick" Dutrow, Jr. (born August 5, 1959 in Hagerstown, Maryland) is an American thoroughbred racehorse trainer. Known as Rick, his brother Anthony Dutrow is also a trainer. Their father, Richard E. Dutrow, Sr., was one of Maryland racing's "Big Four" who dominated racing in that state during the 1960s and '70s and who helped modernize flat racing training. At age sixteen, Rick, Jr. began working as his father's assistant. In 1995, he set up his own public stable in New York after his father left the NYRA circuit to return to Maryland.
He got his big break in 2005 when he won two Breeders' Cup races with Silver Train and Saint Liam. His 1,000th lifetime victory was with Kip Deville in the Frank E. Kilroe Mile on March 3, 2007.[1]
In 2008, he trained Big Brown to Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes victories, although the colt failed to capture the Triple Crown with a last place finish in the 140th Belmont Stakes.
Dutrow, Jr. was a finalist for the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer for 2008.
On April 13, 2011, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's Licensing Review Committee voted to deny a license sought by Dutrow, citing a history of violations.[2] Dutrow filed an appeal on April 15. The commission will schedule a hearing within the next 30 days to reconsider the committee's decision.[3] On October 12, 2011, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board suspended Dutrow from racing for 10 years.
