Derby Winner tests positive

[Brock Landers]

Would love to see him get banned for this. Wouldn't fair penance be:

*Knocking him out of the L2 Triple Crown races (at a minimum)?

He's now banned from Churchill Downs

[CanuckG]

He should have been banned along time ago.

Doubt he loses his license.

[Chi_archie]

are there any Baffert trained horses that were slated to be in preakness other than Medina?

[Easy-Rider 66]

yeah Concert Tour

exactly every commission is separate

[KVB]

..Baffert insisted Medina Spirit has never been treated with betamethasone. "I don't know what's going on, but there's something that is not right," Baffert said...

Unreal.

[funnyb25]

[BeatTheJerk]

This is what I say after a cocaine bender....

“I don’t know what’s going on, but there is something that is not right.”

Do you ever get coke dick on that shit when it’s time to pound one of your whores ?

[CanuckG]

We're getting lots of calls/tweets about refunds. Feel for the bettors - shitty feeling to get cheated but that's life.

refunds ya good luck with that people...half the ponies at smaller tracks are juiced

[WireWire]

Hate to be that guy but told you so on Doge, and told you do on this horse being juiced!

[pologq]

baffert is responsible. if he preaches ignorance it sounds foolish.

[str]

Exactly. What sort of quote is that?

Sounds like deflecting, Bob. Cmon, man.

As a trainer, isn't it his his responsibility to make sure the horse is healthy, prepared, and in accordance w/ all state laws? Fk the Derby. A sport fan really has only right:

*To feel like what he's watching is above board.

Yes.

[VeggieDog]

This is very surprising because Baffert is such an honest trainer. A real play-by-the-rules type of guy.

[WireWire]

No wonder Baffert pulled Concert Tour out of the race he new Medina Spirit was ready to go, and at a price, fuk Baffert bitch should be banned for life and non of his horses should be able to run even under different names.

[mcaulay777]

Trainers have absolutely ruined Horse Racing 5 of them win Everything.Back in the 70;s and 80's till perhaps early 90's before racing went national with simulcasting in So Cal if you were 19% at a meet you were leading trainer. Now every circuit they win at 30% to 40%.Pletcher wins everything at Gulfstream.Plus drug dq's happen everywhere they pull the horse out of the win but you never get your money back.Im surprised more racino's have not pulled there slot money out.Im sure its coming when a congressman says why are we giving Horse Racing all the slot money they should use the funds elsewhere.If casinos start doing that racing is screwed.

[thezbar]

Incredible. I don’t know much about horse racing other than Baffert looks like a thief.

2012

[jjgold]

How is he not banned forever?

[Brock Landers]

LOL

[big joe 1212]

How long will the Churchill ban be for?

If it’s not at least 1 year, then it’s nothing! It’s not his circuit.

Only way to get him is to make it many years or permanent. That would cripple his barn because owners want to win the derby and they’ll be forced to seek other trainers for their top horses.

Should be lifetime ban but it will be a slap on the wrist

[MinnesotaFats]

Ban seems to be indefinite

[big joe 1212]

Ban seems to be indefinite

Meaning they will reinstate him before the derby next year

bunch of crooked pussies

There is more to this story, take note that he won the appeal on the last two suspension.

[JIBBBY]

Horse racing will never be the same after this.....

[trytrytry]

lol nice one!

[ThaWoj]

Pay my 7-9 exacta out

[Four33]

Baffert clean like Donnie fake news just out to get him

[Jerm3462]

Horse racing will never be the same after this.....

He finished 5th. Not bad

[Mac4Lyfe]

Medina "Ben Johnson" Spirit

[BigJay]

Medina Spirt probably won’t go to the Hall of Fame now

[stevenash]

Seriously Baffert is such a piece of crap.

Cheats to win.
You have to pay the price if you get caught though, and he seems to get off soft every time.

But they all cheat to win.

Sosa used a corked bat.
Sluggers juice to hit homers.
Knuckleballers doctored baseballs.

Shit, even Bob Gibson said once "of course I threw a spitball every now and then, we all need an advantage"

Cheating to win has been commonplace since Nero fiddled, and yet some act so surprised.

[pologq]

Meaning they will reinstate him before the derby next year

bunch of crooked pussies

and he will be smiling like nothing happened with his hair flying in the wind

[yahoonino]

I want my money back .baffert is a cheater
