Baffling Baffert


May 15, 2021



Bob Baffert’s excuses for Medina Spirit’s positive drug test were all over the map:


  • Cancel culture (REALLY? What does that even mean???)
  • The test was too sensitive
  • Urine-soaked hay, eaten by the horse. People ridiculed that one vociferously; but trainers in the UK have used the same excuse, so at least Bob didn’t make it up off the top of his head

  • And finally: The horse was treated with an ointment that contained the drug, which then entered his system. That seems to be the excuse he’s sticking with.

Why didn’t he just say so in the first place?
