Trainer Bob Baffert preps horses for a day of racing at Del Mar

Ask him how many horses they go through to get one winner ? It is called "Dixie Cup" training: they use them, they wad them up, they throw them away ! It is all money driven !!!!

Ridiculous comment. Virtually every horse Bob touches ends up a winner and a huge percentage end up stakes horses, even if they don't win the Derby or big G1's. He is called the GOAT for a darn good reason. The man bought 4 horses for his friend Mike Pegram last spring at the two year old sales, and by the end of the year 3 were stakes winners and the one that did not win a stake lost a Grade 1 by a whisker. And the kicker is 3 were 200K and one was 260K - that is absolutely peanuts for top horses! No one else in this sport does what he does. The man is a genius and a national treasure. He deserves all the accolades and adoration that Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Tom Brady get.

Ask him about Medina Spirit being disqualified from the 2021 Derby for drugs and being suspended for 90 days and paying a $7500 fine. I knew him since his days with Golden Eagle farm. He just said they brought 40 horses in for this meet .

Can you tell me anything that isn’t money driven? Do you think the churches open for the good of the people or for their own bank balances? Such an outrageous comment about an absolute master of his trade

The Medina Spirit positive would now be legal. People just pay attention to some news, not all of it.
