Like in many cases the horses are just a pawn or tool of those who work hard to color outside the lines as much as they can. Rap sheet is fairly long as well. If upheld the trainer may be banned forever from the Derby. May the next chemist rise to the front.

I hope that the sport isn't as bad as it was painted.

In any elite level competitions there is a ton of shenanigans going on.

Horse racing is as bad as it gets.

I've long been a fan of Awesome Again, so my horse (Hot Rod Charlie) may go from third to second...Also, HRC did not fail any drug tests, he's just from Awesome stock!!!

I don't feel that it is right to pick winners and loosers. All horses should recieve participation trophies.

So if winning horse is DQ'd, do the winning betters have to give the money back?

Is Churchill Downs gonna pay out on new and improved finish results?

I believe it isn't if performance enhancing drugs were used , it was if they could get it clean enough to beat the test in time or if the drug cocktail had just a little too much of the wrong ingredient to show on the test.


with the money at stake a weekly drug test from 12 weeks before the race for every entry should be required and make sure it is done by the track vet and not any vet.

same goes for athletes , drug test every one from the start of spring or fall training depending on the sport want to make millions , try it clean

Baffert has reputation of being a bit slimmey. California turns a blind eye to his questionable tactics. KY may make an example out of him. Me personally I don’t have an opinion.

Know zip about horse racing, but pre-race the trainer was interviewed with bill belichick. I thought to myself, "there's the winner" cause nobody knows how to skirt the rules better than belichick. Birds of a feather.....
