BOB BAFFERT SUSPENDED

Love my grandkids — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 20:52:12 GMT

...for 2 years after the Kentucky Derby winning horse, Medina Spirit, failed a 2nd drug test. Why am I not surprised. I've always thought this guy was shady.

2 years...he should be banned for the rest of his life considering this was certainly not his 1st offense. These kinda dudes don't change their spots.

Baffert is a sleaze and I am so glad he is suspended. He should not be allowed near any horses again. I hope he ends up serving some jail time, despicable person.

You would think that after getting caught on the first test he would stop the doping...What a dope!

And very irresponsible. And bad for a "sport" that is already problematic.

@Susan Louise I couldn't agree more. There have been past episodes but they were "dismissed" or whatever the correct term is. I think he's a crook.

JMHO....but, I wish horse racing would be banned. Those poor horses are subjected to such awful things....drugs, constant training, running.....I find it to be extremely cruel.

I think his body should somehow be lashed to the middle lanes of a racetrack, and then repeated trampled by healthy thoroughbreds at full gallop.

@Love my grandkids He's not just shady, he's stupid.

I'm sure it'll still be business as usual; he'll just have assistants following his orders and won't have his name listed as trainer. I wish this would ruin him but I doubt it. What an example he's set for his son who follows him around and obviously idolizes him.

I agree with you grandmapetes. It's a cruel sport.

Should be charged with repeated animal cruelty.

@Love my grandkids @I just heard on the news they are going to test Medina Spirit a third time, and if he tests positive again they are going to invalidate his Derby win

@faeriemoon I agree. I hate the sport of horse racing

@Kachina624 Good. That means neither Baffert nor the jockey will profit and have to return their earnings, from what I understand.

Baffert should be banned for life.

ITA...there are so many abuses in the horse racing world, plus a lot of horses that don't belong on a race track are run anyway...because of the greed involved.

@Love my grandkids At least for right now, he's not suspended everywhere. He had previously been suspended by the NY Racing Association and now the 2 year suspension by Churchill Downs. Hopefully other states/tracks will follow suit.

Grandmapetes, there are a lot of people who are very very jealous of Bafferts success and want to ruin him unfortunately 🐴😢 Also horse racing is a very good way of exercise for these Equine Athletes ❤️🐴
