Print Story: Big Brown trainer admits giving horse steroids: report Page 1 of 1 Big Brown trainer admits giving horse steroids: report Fri May 16, 3:20 PM ET AFP US Triple Crown hopeful Big Brown has received regularly monthly treatments of Winstrol, an anabolic steroid banned in 10 states but not any where Triple Crown horse races are contested. On Friday, the eve of Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown's attempt to win the second leg of the treble here at the Preakness, the New York Daily News reported that trainer Rick Dutrow administers the steroid to all his horses. "I give all my horses Winstrol on the 15th of every month," Dutrow told the newspaper. "If (authorities) say I can't use it anymore, I won't." Winstrol, also known as Stanozolol, is legal in 28 of 38 states with horse racing - including Kentucky, Maryland and New York, where the final race in the triple crown, the Belmont Stakes, will be contested next month. But the steroid is among four allowed only for therapeutic use in the other 10 states with racing. Racing Medication and Testing Consortium executive director Scot Waterman told the News that he expects other states to adopt the more limited rules on Winstrol before next year's Triple Crown races. "We're pretty confident that all of the states will be done with the rule-making process by the end of the year," he said. Waterman said that should one of Dutrow's horses have been injected Thursday and raced this weekend in one of the 10 states with therapeutic-only rules, it would likely test positive for a banned substance. "He would probably have a positive," the physician said. "That type of use is what moved us to begin the process we began a couple years ago (of tightening rules on the steroid). "There was evidence these products were being overused or abused." Big Brown is trying to become the first horse to sweep all three Triple Crown titles in the same year since Affirmed in 1978. 5/16/2008.

Will Justify Win the Triple Crown?
Will there be a Triple Crown Winner this year? Mike E. Smith on Justify, Kentucky Derby On May 5, Justify won the Kentucky Derby. There are 2 more thoroughbred horse races that he has to enter and win in order to win the Triple Crown of thoroughbred Racing ... the Preakness and the Belmont. Can he do it? What are his chances? The three races that make up the Triple Crown are the (1) Kentucky Derby, the (2) Preakness Stakes, and the (3) Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby races began in 1875; Preakness races began in 1870; and the Belmont began in 1867. But in all of those years since these races began only 12 horses have won all three.

Sir Barton won. 1. How many years have elapsed between 1919 and now? There are different ways to look at what might be the most usual gap between winners. We could figure out the gap that occurs most often (mode); or what the mean number of years of a gap is; or what is the most central measurement (median) of the various gaps.

Keystone State *S
VEMBER, 1971 „e Keystone State *s FISHING BOATWG Ma 25c / Single Copy V VIEWPOINT by ROBERT J. B1ELO Executive Director Fall Is For Fishing In years gone by November fishermen were almost a total rarity. Today we find increasing numbers of anglers remaining on the streams and lakes well into November. Two of the reasons for this late fall fishing enthusiasm are the muskellunge and the coho sal mon. Probablv the fall coho run in Lake Erie has brought about the greatest single change in fish ing habits of many Western Pennsylvania anglers. Until the Commission's coho program was initiated, Erie's windswept shores were barren of late fall fishermen except for a few of the very hardiest types. Now hundreds of anglers flock to Lake Erie shores, congregating at the mouths of small tributaries such as Trout Run and Godfrey Run, casting into the often rough and unruly surf for coho. Others fish from boats with the Commission Walnut Creek access being the major launching point. In a single weekend it's not unusual for 600 fishing boats to be launched at this busy area that is now protected by large stone and steel jetties. Fall musky fishermen make a much less spectacular sight on our waterways. They usually ap pear as singles or twosomes, patiently anchored or maybe quietly drifting, waiting for the excite ment of a "hit" from a feeding muskellunge. Members of this growing group of cold weather anglers can be seen at dozens of places today. And, of course, our smallmouth bass fishing at this time of year can really make a chilly day seem much warmer.

By Mike Shutty, HorseRacingNation.com Early Edition HORSE RACING NATION’S KENTUCKY DERBY SUPER SCREENER INTRODUCTION There are countless ways to dissect the probable Kentucky Derby field in search of the ultimate winner. Dosage Index, Dual Qualifier status, pedigree, Speed Ratings, prep race quality, Graded Stakes wins, workouts days before the Derby and a trainer’s Derby record are just a few of the criteria that people use when assessing a field of probable Derby contenders. These types of factors fall in and out of favor over the years and each has had its share of success in helping track down a Kentucky Derby winner. Each year, we are reminded of other important, proven screening criteria we should keep in mind as we handicap the Kentucky Derby. Examples would include the following: • Don’t bet to win on Derby entrants that have never run as a 2 year-old. Most recently, Curlin and Bodemeister tried to overcome this long-standing tenant but both came up a bit short in their respective Kentucky Derby endeavors. • Only one horse (Regret) has ever won the Derby off just 3 lifetime starts (make that only two horses now that Big Brown achieved this feat in 2008) • Post position 20 has never produced a winner (Big Brown busted that one as well and I’ll Have Another won from the 19 hole in 2012 so this screening criteria weakens some as a result) • Must have a final prep race run at the mile and eighth distance (Charismatic was able to break that barrier in winning the 1999 Kentucky Derby as have several second place Derby finishers) • Must

Just a few hours ago the news came that I’ll Have Another will not be running at Belmont tomorrow. It is a crushing blow to race fans and especially to those who have a stake in I’ll Have Another. For those of us who have only an emotional stake in the horse and the race, and for those who were so looking forward to the possibility of a Triple Crown winner on Saturday the news comes as a great disappointment. I will watch the Belmont Stakes tomorrow because it is the Belmont and because there are several very good horses running. I will watch the race feeling a sense of loss in what might have been, but I will watch because it is a great sport featuring great athletes.
