Who was the trainer of No Day Off? They interviewed him but I did not hear a name.
Eventually security kicked Bernie and the HBO crew out of the track.
At the end of the show Gumbel took a shot at Dutrow, stating he has had a positive each year since 2000.

I didnt catch the special... but No Day Off was a MDN @ MNR... I believe it was trained by Ricardo Hernandez... the best part, I think it was bred by him as well... dont know anything about him... I can imagine what the video looked like, watch a special on cow slaughtering a few weeks ago, as if death wasnt enough, the way they treat them leading up is insane... dont see why you'd ever slaughter a 4 yo filly... Theres lots of guys that try and buy horses super cheap at tracks... they always say they are looking to "resell" race horses that cant make it at the track... resell for dog food maybe... Some trainers know where the horse they sold will end up, others dont have a clue... I imagine MNR was the place to go... rumor has it lots of Dales horses ended up at slaughter houses... they say thats the real reason hes not in the hall of fame... or I mean... hall of fabulous...
MNRs seems to be a decent target... real sports w/ the Birzer lawsuit a few years ago... if real sports is talking about horse racing... 50% chance MNR will be brought up... I dont think thats a good thing...
