Born on August 5, 1959, Dutrow is the son of the late Dick Dutrow, an east coast based trainer who died in 2000.

Both went to the barns with their father as children and Richard started working as an assistant to his father at age 16.

Tough Beginning:

Dutrow went out on his own in the late 1990's when his father moved his stable from New York to Maryland. Things were tough with only one horse his stable and he had to live in his tack room at Aqueduct. In 2000, he got his first stakes winner with Stalwart Member who was owned by commodities trader Sanford Goldfarb. Goldfarb was the leading owner by wins in New York from 2001-2003 and his horses were responsible for Dutrow becomming a success. He was the leading trainer in New York for 2001 and 2002 and had been the leading trainer for 8 NYRA meets since 2001.
