Kentucky Derby Winner Medina Spirit Fails Drug Test So What Happens Next? | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
There is more concern over the equity of the gambling industry than equity for the equine.
That’s right. Priorities are a bit skewed here.
Gee Let Me Think Who Is Running Kentucky?
Hmmmm… Victory Taste Sooo Sweet. Thank You DONNY.
Marjorie Taylor Greene walked in this bar. A horse was bartending. He asked her, “Hey, why the long face?”
That is hilarious , good one !!!
I don’t care if it is a fraction of a gram but test proved it and the horse is under his care, he will take the claim. No but, no cancel culture.
When used as a joint injection, a typical dose of betamethasone would be nine milligrams, RMTC executive director Dr. Mary Scollay told Horse Racing Nation.
“But then that drug leaves the joint, enters the bloodstream and is distributed throughout the body,” she told HRN. “And remember that a racehorse has upwards of 50,000 mls (milliliters) of blood. So you’re not talking about 21 picograms in that entire horse’s body. You’re talking about 21 picograms in one ml of blood. And there’s 49,999 other mls of blood, not to mention all the other tissues, the muscles, the organs, the brain, the skin, all the other tissues of the body. That drug distributes throughout the entire body. So 21 picograms, you know, you can be a little overly reductive and say that’s nothing. But when you can contemplate the total sum of medication that may be in the body at that time point? It’s a different story
He knew! Give the purse to the second place finisher.stable boy did it..lol
Let it play out!! Lots riding on it. Betting, career etc.
I know I saw that horse smoking crack just before the race. Then he hit me up for a $20. to buy another rock.
Medina Spirit checks into Celebrity Rehab.

Security cameras? Those would expose if anyone unauthorized came in contact with the horse.
They should be out for cheating if that’s the case.
He’s acting like it was a toddler who somehow got into the medicine cabinet in the middle of the night lol
Something did go wrong. He got caught.
Its all about the money .
All kinds of excuses that revolve around the truth.
They only think of fame and money and the horse is screwed.
Bob Baffert, the Lance Armstrong of horse racing.
WHAT WE HORSE GAMBLE GOING TO DO NOW.
Why do they have to give them drugs? Poor baby! That is awful! This needs to Investigated!!!
The public gets nothing..its official..but the owners will either get money or lose money
Just saw Bob is angry at the way he is being treated. Doesn’t come any where near how disappointed I feel. Lucky for him there is no infield party this year at the Preakness. Would have loved to see 1000s of maniacs reactions to Baffert.
