@@equine2020 I can't imagine what your idea of a drugged horse is. The horse that caused the sensation, and the jealous, haters to come out of their holes, was given a topical ointment called Otomax. The horse was tested two days before the race and failed the test because of a picogram of the substance. A is picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. That’s hardly a performance enhancing amount. But the powers that be finally had their chance to exact revenge on yet another successful horse trainer. Every horse trainer out there loses a horse to illness or injury--not just Bob Baffert. Sixty thousand horses die of colic each year in the United States. Show me Bob’s records, and while you're at it take a peek at the records of all the trainers out there. You're a fool if you don't think I know his record or how much he loves his horses. It's a well-known fact that the Eastern elite think of people from the west as nothing more than cowboys, and interlopers to "their" sport. The woke KHRC, aka Kentucky Fried Chicken, were just waiting to take the successful, and famed "cowboy" down. Churchill Downs has revealed they are extending the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert. In a statement released on Monday, the company said the suspension will go through calendar year 2024 based on “continued concerns regarding the threat to the safety and integrity of racing he poses to Churchill Downs-owned race tracks.” They said Baffert continues to “peddle a false narrative” when it comes to the failed drug test of Medina Spirit at Kentucky Derby 147. The horse was disqualified by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission after he tested positive for betamethasone. Baffert claimed the drug was in an ointment used to treat a skin condition and said it was such a small amount that it wouldn’t have changed the horse’s performance. Prior to that race, Mr. Baffert signed an agreement with Churchill Downs which stated that he was responsible for understanding the rules of racing in Kentucky and that he would abide by them. The results of the tests clearly show that he did not comply, and his ongoing conduct reveals his continued disregard for the rules and regulations that ensure horse and jockey safety, as well as the integrity and fairness of the races conducted at our facilities. "A trainer who is unwilling to accept responsibility for multiple drug test failures in our highest-profile races cannot be trusted to avoid future misconduct,” Churchill Downs Inc. said in the statement. This move would make Baffert ineligible for the 150th Kentucky Derby. A judge ruled against Baffert in late May (2023) in his lawsuit against Churchill Downs. He had argued his suspension from the track and its properties had devalued his training license. Baffert released a statement via Twitter addressing the suspension extension. "I am at a loss to understand Churchill Downs' latest action to suspend me. From the moment I learned of Medina Spirit's post-race positive -- now more than two years ago -- I committed to find out how it could have occurred, given that we had never injected Medina Spirit's joints with betamethasone, which the veterinary records confirm. A review of our treatment records showed we used a topical ointment called Otomax for a skin infection, and post-race testing of the sample confirmed the positive test came from a topical application. Renowned horse trainer Bob Baffert has dropped his appeal relating to his horse's disqualification a few years ago. According to a social media post, Baffert said he's instructed his attorneys to drop the appeal of Medina Spirit's disqualification from the 2021 Kentucky Derby. He said himself and Amr Zedan "have decided that it is best to positively focus on the present and future that our great sport offers." "We thank the [Kentucky Horse Racing Commission] and Churchill Downs for listening and considering our point of view and we are grateful for the changes and clarity that [Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority] brings to our sport," Baffert said.

In the interests of the sport we all love, I have made no public comments on this unfortunate episode for an extended period of time, so the suggestion that I 'continue to peddle a false narrative' is patently false." *Churchill Downs, located in Louisville, Kentucky, suspended racing operations and moved its meet to Ellis Park in the wake of 12 horse fatalities over the past month.[1]WHASABC JUNE 11, 2023 Hmm, I'm pretty sure, no I **_am_** sure Bob wasn't there.*

Then, instead of filing a public complaint as it usually does, the board made a series of decisions behind closed doors as it moved to drop the case and lighten the penalty for any horse found to have the banned substance that Justify tested positive for in its system.

Bob has a great personality, he has some great stories, some incredible wins, and a few hard luck loses. But.. Second: Nobody can be that " unlucky " 31 times when it comes to either illegal drugs, or, illegal on race day, or even a very, very small amount of overage. It might as well be twice the limit. It's the excuses also, as a lifetime horse racing fan, I've never heard so many excuses. Some really lame excuses. Third: Bob is better than that. Is some of this, maybe, a bad test result? Maybe. I don't know. If I forget about 2, 3, 4, there is still a lot left. I like Bob, how could any horse racing fan not like him? He's the greatest horse trainer in the history of horse racing. Do I get mad as hell with his excuses? Yes! Do I still want him to win? Yes! Would I bet on his horse's? Duh, I like winning too. But, but, Bob, please dudè, somehow, some way, I don't care if you have to put 12 Ring door cameras in your horse's stalls, please do not come back with another durty test result. And, try to stop bad mouthing Churchill Downs some, back off a little. I want to see your horse's in the Ky. Derby with you training them! I will bet the horse without ever seeing it, without knowing his name, because he will win the Ky Derby straight up making you clearly the most successful horse trainer of all time.

Well It’s Either Going To Be A Photo Finish. Or An Oil Painting.

[@RyanHentz-ih7mc]

One of the best trainers in the world, I love that guy🎉

[@azbdizzy4176]

Isn't Baffert banned from Louisville Downs for doping?

[@djkent9747]

BB is the only reason I still watch horseracing. I know there is a slim to nothing chance of anyone else having the ability to train a triple crown winner. My opinion of the KD and NYRA bans is they were just another instance of the old East vs West coast rivalry. Im sure they hated having their butts handed to them on a regular basis by what they saw as a cowboy.

[@gregluther9570]

Hilarious title. A race horsing empire huh? I always thought I personally had a horse racing empire. But whatever works.

[@dr3271]

LOL WTF 😆 🤣

[@BoonOrBust]

Haven’t raced since 89/90 Was curious if BUYING A HORSE ON A RUN-OUT still happen still? 14:53

[@BoonOrBust]

Since money is hard to come by It would be something to keep it lucrative .

[@waksh300]

Baffert is a genius !

[@hughmacdonald306]

The best

[@DerbyBandit]

Softball questions and topics 🚮 should have asked him about the Death of horses.

[@joaquinrivera1099]

El mejor 👏 puerto rico

[@Maxwell-is-Smart]

When was this filmed?

[@robinwatters6682]

Has to be before 2018, because they don't mention his next triple crown winner Justify

[@patriciafitch2432]

How many horses died on his watch?

[@3meeds275]

Did Bob have any Elite turf horses?? Or he’s just a dirt specialist? 🤔

[@chriscolfer2915]

How about investing your fair share into Monmouth park race track n.j Big shot!!!

[@davidramirez4810]

My dad said the same thing, you have energy for that? I have some work for you.

[@Bigtime1972]

Where is Justify?

[@hankhaynes3701]

In Kentucky siring excellent babies, including a breeder's cup champion this year.

[@JoeKoOhNo]

I think this was recorded after Pharosh's TC but before Justify's.

[@ChristopherHenderson-uy2kn]

Definitely good for the sport, never realized how much he looks like Charlie Sheen. Would like to meet him.

[@lorrainewaters6189]

just shows ya that women have good eyes. When Covonnier's owner said "second", she was right.

[@Krazede]

Joe, I have mad RESPECT for you in ALL you do!

[@adamely997]

Thoroughbred racing is all about who has the Vet with the gear, and the biggest balls. Racing in the US is laughed at by every racing jurisdiction around the World.

[@mikerelva6915]

Show is you don't actually follow horse racing, the sales, the training without telling us. Are there chwaters in racing? Yep. But it is not Bob. The more testing and scrutiny he goes under the more he wins. Believe it or not, just like other aspects of life, there is bound to be someone more gifted, talented and that excels more. It's only disgruntled bettors and people that know NOTHING about this game that spout your rhetoric. All the horseman feel differently....we call that Dunning Kruger.

[@roninslv]

@@mikerelva6915 Justify tested positive for scopolamine, an anti-nausea medication said to have potential performance-enhancing effects in horses, after winning the Santa Anita Derby in April 2018. Without that win, Justify would not have qualified to run in the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown, a month later. But the scuttled test result remained secret until the New York Times reported it in 2019. The California Horse Racing Board’s inner workings during the episode have remained mostly shrouded by official secrecy. After the test result was revealed, Mick Ruis, the trainer and owner of the Santa Anita Derby’s runner-up, sued the CHRB, claiming Justify’s win should have been erased.

[@JoeKoOhNo]

Hogwash. Breeder's Cup races draw horses from Europe, Japan, South Africa, and the Middle East. American horses are influential sites all over the world. STFU.

[@jackwoods9604]

That is Why New York Barred Sunday Silences Vet From His Barn During 1989 Belmont Stakes...Horse Was Always Doped up Until He Ran in NY and Got Destroyed by Easy Goer...Some Vets are Absolute Criminals (Especially Back Then)

[@StephanWodziak]

​@@mikerelva6915 I guess the whole Justify Santa Anita Deby scandal is just business as usual. Blatant corruption. He should've never been able to run in the Derby. That's corruption at the highest levels of the sport.

[@thebrowncrew]

Joe Buck is not a great interviewer. This could have been some much better.

[@StephanWodziak]

Why was Justify retired so soon?

[@silosvince]

A triple crown winner is more valuable at stud if he is sound enough to breed. One could see Justify was starting to show tear in the Preakness. I thought he was not going to race in the Belmont but I was wrong, he went on to win the Triple Crown. In hindsight, retiring him was the best decision the owners made because he passed on his talent to a lot of his progeny.

[@StephanWodziak]

@@silosvince He retired because he tested dirty for the SA Derby.

[@silosvince]

@@StephanWodziak I love it when people bash Bob Baffert, the odds get better. You are a disgrace. Try posting something true

[@CorySmith-eh6ux]

Joe Buck, your Dad would be ashamed of you for this interview. RIP Jack Buck.

[@cjames21]

Baffert has good lawyers and a direct line to Mexico to obtain the best of the best run fast!

[@kimanorose174]

The best to ever do it...................................

[@danmartin7485]

Its a shame the stance Churchill Downs has taken against this living legend. Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirits' med violation (applied topiclly for a rash) could have in no way affected the horses performance. Now CD is keeping the greatest trainer out of the KD because he tried to fight the ruling. Going on 3 years now. He doesnt need to cheat.

[@jackwoods9604]

Who Was The Better Horse....Justify or Point Given?

[@michaelpflug394]

Point Given imo. But a case could be made for either.

[@cherienewberry]

Bob Baffert vs Jorge Navarro

[@danny31originalapesfamily70]

Victory Gallup!

[@D2150-k2b]

What about justify

[@michaeladams2077]

They were not, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times. Instead of the failed drug test causing a speedy disqualification, the California Horse Racing Board took more than a month to confirm the results. Then, instead of filing a public complaint as it usually does, the board made a series of decisions behind closed doors as it moved to drop the case and lighten the penalty for any horse found to have the banned substance that Justify tested positive for in its system.

[@FrankCarolei-lv6rb]

Wonder how many of those races in the 90’s were juiced

[@DavidHinton-px3ob]

He holds many records including doping horses.

[@JessePerez-kd3sk]

To be the man you must beat the man……wooooooooo.

Bob Baffert vs 70 horses?

Bobby likes to juice them up😂😂

[@synialopez5467]

The beast the monster the best at cheating no doubt build a empire by cheating he is great

[@eac1235]
