Andy Beyer, Dutrow, DRF

[justindew]

I have never seen a news article written by a reporter for a publication about the response to a column that appeared in said publication. It seems like DRF is trying to offer some kind of apology for Beyer's column, which is ridiculous if that is in fact what they are doing. Dutrow's response to Beyer's column is not news. His explanation for the horse's turnaround IS, however. But DRF making Beyer's column the focus of this article seems odd to me.

I also think it's totally disingenuous for Dutrow and Walder to suggest that Beyer should not have written what he wrote without gathering all the facts or visiting the barns in question. As if Beyer would have snooped around and found drugs in the barn. Plus, Beyer's column was based on years and years of his own analysis of stats which clearly back up his suggestion.
