I Lived Liike A Horse (now I just tain them)
16 years 10 months ago
One day someone will make a film about Rick Dutrow. The US horse trainer has overcome adversity,courted controversy and looks after Big Brown- probably the best American racehorse for over a decade.
In June, Big Brown almost became the first horse in 30 years to win the Triple Crown.
That in itself is a remarkable feat,even more so given that back in 1998 Dutrow was living in a barn at Aqueduct Racetrack, New York, albeit one fitted with a phone,microwave and TV."If I lost everything and I had to do it again, man, i'm there" he says.
A year later his girlfriend was murdered and the following year his father, Richard,also a trainer, died of cancer. Then Dutrow was banned from training after failing a drug test.
He turned his life around with the help of wealthy Wall Street horse owner who had also grown up the hard way. And the winners piled in.
He concludes "i don't think anyone would look to me for guidance,but I'm honest about where i'v been and am confident in wherer i am going"

Another Andrew Fortune story.
I love to see people turning their lives around.
