If the trainer's appeal is unsuccessful, Medina Spirit will be stripped of the prestigious Kentucky Derby crown and all money gained off the victory will be forfeited.
Horse trainer Bob Baffert stood beside his lawyer Sunday as it was announced that last week's Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit, tested positive for elevated levels of betamethasone, prompting speculation the horse's crown will be stripped.
"Yesterday, I got the biggest gut punch in racing for something that I didn't do," Baffert said during Sunday morning's announcement."[It's an] injustice to the horse. I don't feel embarrassed, I feel like I was wronged. But I'm going to fight it." "Given the seriousness of the alleged offense, Churchill Downs will immediately suspend Bob Baffert, the trainer of Medina Spirit, from entering any horses at Churchill Downs Racetrack. We will await the conclusion of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commissions' investigation before taking further steps."
