Baffert Currently Banned by Churchill Downs Racetrack
Trainer Bob Baffert has also been in the news – for the wrong reasons – over the last few years due to a failed postrace drug test (betamethasone) by a horse called Medina Spirit. The horse, which is now deceased, finished first in the 147th Kentucky Derby, but was later disqualified in February 2022.
That also resulted in Baffert getting a 90-day ban, plus the Churchill Downs track set their own disciplinary punishment by banning Baffert from running horses at their track – which includes the Kentucky Derby – for 2 years.
Baffert has made several appeals to this Churchill Downs ban, but has, so far, been unsuccessful.
Baffert Entered the US Racing Hall Of Fame In 2009
The name ‘Bob Baffert’ was also etched into the US Racing Hall Of Fame in 2009, when the nominating committee selected him. Since his addition, other big names like Todd Pletcher, Mark E.Casse and Steve Asmussen (2016) have been added to the hall of fame.
