The ban of legendary horse racing trainer Bob Baffert by Churchill Downs Inc. was extended another 1 1/2 years, but why? The Times examines the case.
, a legal medication prohibited on race day. Baffert preempted an announcement by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission with an angry news conference outside his barn. He said he had no idea how it got in the horse’s system. He also went on an ill-advised national tour, saying on Fox News that he was a victim of “cancel culture.”
Baffert and his attorneys have argued that treating a horse with a topical ointment that contains betamethasone, such as Otomax, is legal and that the rule was targeting injections. Medina Spirit was being treated for a rash on his hind quarter.The legal defense has been unsuccessful on all the Kentucky cases, although a subsequent two-year ban in New York was cut to one year.
