I wasn’t defending him, the 2nd test could be negative... just saying some people think it’s a juicing steroid


Does it matter? There's no greater cheat than helping a runner breathe.

I am surprised we haven’t seen horse owners or trainers brawling with this guy yet.

I was talking about it all evening but had to wait for it to be somewhat confirmed today

Still probably skipping the Preakness. But hopefully Medina runs like shite and Johnny v is free to ride the filly in the Belmont

There's so much money involved the juice is worth the squeeze. Rarely does anyone get caught and the punishments are tame.

“ The New York Times said in November 2020 that Baffert-trained horses have failed at least 29 drug tests in his four-decade career.”

What about bettors costing them money? He better have some security with him if he goes to the Preakness

All sports in the rest of the world have been based around gambling forever and now all the sports in the USA are about to based around gambling

At least horse race is pari-mutuel and the pools are set by the people betting not by the mob

What happens if the horse is DQ’d? They can’t go back and collect what has been paid. How does this impact the betting world?

It doesn’t.

But there are talks of a class action type suit from gamblers. Who knows

I don’t understand the betting side as well as I do the horse side

Wonder how my bookie is going to react to find out if that horse gets DQed he’s gotta pay my trifecta.


He’s not going to pay it. Medina Spirit will be the winner for all bets regardless of outcome of drug tests.

Bettors who backed Medina Spirit, however, would keep their winnings, while supporters of Mandaloun would be left with losing tickets.
