Why do it? They know they’ll be found out plus it’s detrimental to horse.
Money, and often times they get away with it. If a horse goes lame and can’t breed new racehorses at a profit, they sell it to the meat man and it gets chopped up and turned into dog food. That is how much trainers at that level care about horses. They care about winning, the animal is just the means to secure the pay window.
He should go to Fox and cry cancel culture, he will get sympathizers there.
Listening to Fox News whine about cancel culture is like listening to Ted Bundy whine about how women are mistreated. Just ask the Dixie Chicks or Colin Kaepernick.
Why is there even a second test? Disqualify the horse, jockey, and ban the financial end from ever owning, and running races horses ever again. Problem solved.
Fails SECOND drug test. ‘could’ be disqualified. But it’s going to be referred to a new laboratory. Now, why does this make me think of Maricopa County?
Kinda rough on this poor horsie…let’s have an intervention. He’s just a junkie…
Steriods are not addictive.
Imagine that!
We got horses out here doing drugs. Why 2021? Why?
This animal needs horse protective services to take this poor creature away from his abusive owners and give him to someone who can and will take proper care of him.
This will be Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s next mission, to get these horses off drugs, right after he’s finished getting the birds off drugs :)) seriously he’s really trying to get birds off drugs… meanwhile Kentucky continues to be a welfare state that takes in $2.50 in federal money for every $1 it gives and absolutely nothing is being done about that…
You don’t even know the context of those situations.
I feel so badly for that poor horse.
If other horses were failing I could see blaming an ointment they were all using, but I don’t hear about widescale failures. Color me sceptical.
I worry about the horse Medina Spirit more than its trainer or the owner. They are running the poor horse into the ground..🤯😳🧐🥺
🤔WHAT😳THE FLIP IS UP❓❗ THIS is ANCIENT 🤦NEWS❗ Kentucky Derby was🤷nearly A MONTH AGO😲❗
I think its time to consider rehab.
Can we test trump and all his minions 😂😂😂 and then follow the kick 😂😂
The same group does nfl covid testing. Keep testing until you pass.
Only Hunter Biden fails more drug tests!
Matt Gaetz wouldn’t pass either.
Jail him
Steve Assmussen, Chad brown, Brad Cox…need jail time as well as Bob Baffert
Baffert’s horses have failed test 29 times. Such an honest business.
