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.

Totally, totally agree.

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  ❤️🐴
