Bob Baffert has returned to Churchill Downs, accompanied by his attorney, Craig Robertson. Should be an interesting morning.

Baffert held a press conference alongside his legal team, denying he gave the horse any illegal substances. He called the positive test "the biggest gut punch in racing" and added that he "does not feel safe to train

Gonna be interesting to see if more than one sample comes up with it. Apparently they won’t DQ until a second sample tests positive. And given the med not sure how you explain that one away.
These are the previous more high profile challenges he’s faced:

quote:
The California Horse Racing Board agreed with his conclusion that a jimson-weed positive for Justify after the 2018 Santa Anita Derby (G1) was the result of tainted feed.
He also successfully appealed the disqualifications of Gamine and Charlatan from victories last May at Oaklawn Park, both because of lidocaine positives blamed on a personal pain-relief patch that assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes touched before applying tack to the horses. Gamine's win in an allowance race and Charlatan's in one division of the Arkansas Derby (G1) were reinstated in an Arkansas Racing Commission hearing last month.
