    Bob's a legend. He's won two triple crowns and got 2/3 of the way there another four times. Churchill Downs is ridiculous for their treatment of him. Next year, watch and see, as he will return there and win another Kentucky Derby.

I'm sure Bob has to deal with a lot of bullshit when it comes to the insurance policies on these horses.... so WHEN THE VET screws up Bob Suffers.... when you've got the best horse you don't have to cheat.... for example: the SALVE they put on Medina SPIRIT....a handful of cornstarch would HAVE cured it overnight BUT WITH A 77cents box of cornstarch can't make the VET ANY money!!!!

    First: I've always liked Bob. He's the best horse trainer ever. I'm 71 year's young, and have been following horse race's since I was 13 year's young. Bob has a great personality, he has some great stories, some incredible wins, and a few hard luck loses. But.. Second: Nobody can be that " unlucky " 31 times when it comes to either illegal drugs, or, illegal on race day, or even a very, very small amount of overage. It might as well be twice the limit. It's the excuses also, as a lifetime horse racing fan, I've never heard so many excuses. Some really lame excuses. Third: Bob is better than that. Is some of this, maybe, a bad test result? Maybe. I don't know. If I forget about 2, 3, 4, there is still a lot left. I like Bob, how could any horse racing fan not like him? He's the greatest horse trainer in the history of horse racing. Do I get mad as hell with his excuses? Yes! Do I still want him to win? Yes! Would I bet on his horse's? Duh, I like winning too. But, but, Bob, please dudè, somehow, some way, I don't care if you have to put 12 Ring door cameras in your horse's stalls, please do not come back with another durty test result. And, try to stop bad mouthing Churchill Downs some, back off a little. I want to see your horse's in the Ky. Derby with you training them! I will bet the horse without ever seeing it, without knowing his name, because he will win the Ky Derby straight up making you clearly the most successful horse trainer of all time. I'm not trying to be a -ick ,I'm not being a smart -ss, I'm not bashing Bob Baffert. Fourth: I like Bob Baffert!

    @@equine2020 I can't imagine what your idea of a drugged horse is. The horse that caused the sensation, and the jealous, haters to come out of their holes, was given a topical ointment called Otomax. The horse was tested two days before the race and failed the test because of a picogram of the substance. A is picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. That’s hardly a performance enhancing amount. But the powers that be finally had their chance to exact revenge on yet another successful horse trainer. Every horse trainer out there loses a horse to illness or injury--not just Bob Baffert. Sixty thousand horses die of colic each year in the United States. Show me Bob’s records, and while you're at it take a peek at the records of all the trainers out there. You're a fool if you don't think I know his record or how much he loves his horses. It's a well-known fact that the Eastern elite think of people from the west as nothing more than cowboys, and interlopers to "their" sport. The woke KHRC, aka Kentucky Fried Chicken, were just waiting to take the successful, and famed "cowboy" down. Churchill Downs has revealed they are extending the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert. In a statement released on Monday, the company said the suspension will go through calendar year 2024 based on “continued concerns regarding the threat to the safety and integrity of racing he poses to Churchill Downs-owned race tracks.” They said Baffert continues to “peddle a false narrative” when it comes to the failed drug test of Medina Spirit at Kentucky Derby 147. The horse was disqualified by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission after he tested positive for betamethasone. Baffert claimed the drug was in an ointment used to treat a skin condition and said it was such a small amount that it wouldn’t have changed the horse’s performance. Prior to that race, Mr. Baffert signed an agreement with Churchill Downs which stated that he was responsible for understanding the rules of racing in Kentucky and that he would abide by them. The results of the tests clearly show that he did not comply, and his ongoing conduct reveals his continued disregard for the rules and regulations that ensure horse and jockey safety, as well as the integrity and fairness of the races conducted at our facilities. "A trainer who is unwilling to accept responsibility for multiple drug test failures in our highest-profile races cannot be trusted to avoid future misconduct,” Churchill Downs Inc. said in the statement. This move would make Baffert ineligible for the 150th Kentucky Derby. A judge ruled against Baffert in late May (2023) in his lawsuit against Churchill Downs. He had argued his suspension from the track and its properties had devalued his training license. Baffert released a statement via Twitter addressing the suspension extension. "I am at a loss to understand Churchill Downs' latest action to suspend me.

    @@equine2020 I can't imagine what your idea of drugged horse is. The horse that caused the sensation, and the jealous, haters to come out of their holes, was given a topical ointment called Otomax. The horse was tested two days before the race and failed the test because of a picogram of the substance. A is picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. That’s hardly a performance enhancing amount. But the powers that be finally had their chance to exact revenge on yet another successful horse trainer. Every horse trainer out there loses a horse to illness or injury--not just Bob Baffert. Sixty thousand horses die of colic each year in the United States. Show me Bob’s records, and while you're at it take a peek at the records of all the trainers out there. You're a fool if you don't think I know his record or how much he loves his horses. It's a well-known fact that the Eastern elite think of people from the west as nothing more than cowboys, and interlopers to "their" sport. The KHRC, aka Kentucky Fried Chicken, were just waiting to take the successful, and famed "cowboy" down. Churchill Downs has revealed they are extending the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert. In a statement released on Monday, the company said the suspension will go through calendar year 2024 based on “continued concerns regarding the threat to the safety and integrity of racing he poses to Churchill Downs-owned race tracks.” They said Baffert continues to “peddle a false narrative” when it comes to the failed drug test of Medina Spirit at Kentucky Derby 147. The horse was disqualified by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission after he tested positive for betamethasone. Baffert claimed the drug was in an ointment used to treat a skin condition and said it was such a small amount that it wouldn’t have changed the horse’s performance. Prior to that race, Mr. Baffert signed an agreement with Churchill Downs which stated that he was responsible for understanding the rules of racing in Kentucky and that he would abide by them. The results of the tests clearly show that he did not comply, and his ongoing conduct reveals his continued disregard for the rules and regulations that ensure horse and jockey safety, as well as the integrity and fairness of the races conducted at our facilities. "A trainer who is unwilling to accept responsibility for multiple drug test failures in our highest-profile races cannot be trusted to avoid future misconduct,” Churchill Downs Inc. said in the statement. This move would make Baffert ineligible for the 150th Kentucky Derby. A judge ruled against Baffert in late May in his lawsuit against Churchill Downs. He had argued his suspension from the track and its properties had devalued his training license. Baffert released a statement via Twitter addressing the suspension extension. "I am at a loss to understand Churchill Downs' latest action to suspend me. From the moment I learned of Medina Spirit's post-race positive -- now more than two years ago -- I committed to find out how it could have occurred, given that we had never injected Medina Spirit's joints with betamethasone, which the veterinary records confirm.

Yet Secretariat the Gold standard who after 50 years still has all the Records. Yet everyone in the Biz, knows Big Red was the Vet Steroid Guinea Pig! Note- not trying to denigrate that great fantastic athlete , eill never forget that day, I cried like a baby and still do watching replays... and it Was Legal. Let them Run as long as safety is followed. Would cherish meeting this giant of the sport.

    You need to research a little better. The rules at the time stated that only the injectable version was banned and he never used that, he treated a rash cream, genius. Furthermore, now HISA is in effect and every Baffert "overage" would not even register under their guidelines. You are also wrong, there was a horse DQ last century over bute in the Derby. And you are wrong again, as Orb failed his Derby test but since Shug and Orbs owners are powerful in Kentucky they covered it up Why is it that haters are always the most clueless, loud and simultaneously wrong? 🤔

Without that win, Justify would not have qualified to run in the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown, a month later. But the scuttled test result remained secret until the New York Times reported it in 2019. The California Horse Racing Board’s inner workings during the episode have remained mostly shrouded by official secrecy. After the test result was revealed, Mick Ruis, the trainer and owner of the Santa Anita Derby’s runner-up, sued the CHRB, claiming Justify’s win should have been erased.

I thought he was not going to race in the Belmont but I was wrong, he went on to win the Triple Crown. In hindsight, retiring him was the best decision the owners made because he passed on his talent to a lot of his progeny.
