  • Summary



  • In this episode, we delve into the high-profile controversy surrounding Bob Baffert, one of the most prominent trainers in horse racing, and his horse Medina Spirit. The focal point of this controversy is the alleged due process violation by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) and the subsequent impact on the sport's reputation.


    We begin by examining the details of the case, including the claim made by Baffert and Zedan Racing Stables that the KHRC violated their due process rights by refusing comprehensive split-sample testing of Medina Spirit's urine after a positive betamethasone finding. Baffert emphasizes the need to determine the source of the drug and requested analysis of blood and urine for additional compounds present in the topical ointment prescribed by the horse's veterinarian. We explore the potential implications of such testing on the outcome of the case.
