Churchill Downs on Monday announced it would extend Bob Baffert's ban from the racetrack and accused him of peddling a 'false narrative' surrounding Medina Spirit.
Trainer Bob Baffert’s
"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 statement read. "I am at a loss to understand Churchill Downs’ latest action to suspend me," his statement posted to social media read."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 Spirits joints with betamethasone, which the veterinary records confirm.
"I have been advised by my attorneys that the use of Otomax is permitted under the rules, and this issue is presently being adjudicated by the Racing Commission in a case presently before them. In no way does this involved a ‘disregard for the rules.’
