I feel so gutted for the poor horse. May he rest in peace, no one can deny he had the grit and heart of a champion.

True, but what sucks is animal activists and a dying sport that I love. He makes it worse and needs to go away

That poor horse. Baffert needs to go. Medina Spirit was such a game horse; I can not believe it ended for him in this fashion.

agreed, I think most people agree he needs to go or at least I'd hope so; he makes the entire industry look like *...

One of the guys who works for me has a last name of Medina. I have been talking to him about this horse since he won the Robert Lewis. Started getting him into horse racing. Pretty sure he won't watch horse racing anymore now. Good job Bob.

While I’m not a Baffert supporter, can we at least wait until the autopsy is in before we hang the guy?

The horse already test positive for steroids, he was suspended and a BS story gets him out of that. Now the horse dies. The math doesn't add up

Bob had a spike of cardiac-related deaths in his barn several years ago. Yes, people are innocent until proven guilty, but where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Especially if the place has burned before.

I am no fan of Bob Baffert but it has been scientifically proven that his explanation about the skin ointment is correct . So technicaaly it is his vet who is responsible for the [positive test and really should have known better.
