Baffert Responds to New York Times Allegations FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2019 KEENELAND SEPTEMBER RESUMES FRIDAY BAFFERT RESPONDS TO by Jessica Martini NEW YORK TIMES LEXINGTON, KY - There may have been no bidding at Keeneland Thursday, but it was anything but dark at the sales grounds as ALLEGATIONS consignors were kept busy showing horses to perspective buyers on a sweltering day in the Blue Grass. The 13-day September sale opened with a blockbuster, three-session Book 1 and expectations are for that demand to carry into the two- session Book 2, which gets underway Friday at 10 a.m. “The next two sessions have 365 horses a piece of really quality animals and there is a whole lot of money sitting on the sidelines still, who couldn't get in here on Book 1,” said Keeneland’s vice president of sales and racing Bob Elliston. “I think we are going to see some fireworks still on Friday and Saturday.” Cont. p5 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY BREEZE MASTERS MAY HILL RIVALS Bob Baffert and Justify | Sarah Andrew Two-year-old filly Powerful Breeze (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) kept her unbeaten record intact with a victory in Thursday’s G2 May Hill by Bill Finley S. at Doncaster.

In addition, I had no input into, or influence on, the decisions made by the California Horse Racing Board. “Following the Santa Anita Derby, Justify raced in three different jurisdictions during his Triple Crown run--Kentucky, Maryland and New York. He passed all drug tests in those jurisdictions. I call on the relevant testing agencies in those jurisdictions to immediately release information related to Justify’s test results.” Cont. p3 #1 FRESHMAN SIRE KEENELAND SEPTEMBER SALE BOOK 1 8 YEARLINGS SOLD $462,500 AVERAGE $700,000 TOP SELLER LOOK FOR MORE RUNHAPPY YEARLINGS IN THE DAYS AHEAD!

Baffert’s attorney, W. Craig Roberston III, also released a letter he sent to the author of the story, Joe Drape. He called the article “long on sensationalism, short on facts and a great disservice to Mr. Baffert, Justify, and the entire horse industry.” No one has disputed that Justify tested positive for Scopolamine in a race that was run 28 days before the Kentucky Derby. The lingering question is whether or not the California Horse Board erred in not adjudicating the matter in a more timely manner. Proper procedures must be taken between the time a horse fails a drug test and the findings are made public. In an earlier interview with the Thoroughbred Daily News, the CHRB’s equine medical director Rick Arthur said that it can take as many as 60 to 90 days to resolve a drug positive case. In a statement released Thursday by Churchill Downs Racetrack President Kevin Flanery, Flanery said Churchill had not been informed of the Scopolamine positive. “Until media reports surfaced Wednesday night, neither Churchill Downs nor the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission had knowledge of any potential positive tests that may have emanated from California in advance of the 2018 Kentucky Derby,” he said. “We do know that all pre- and post-race tests for 2018 Kentucky Derby participants came back clean, including Justify. In advance of our race each year, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission conducts pre-race out-of-competition testing for every Kentucky Derby starter and all starters’ results were clean. After the race, the top finishers are tested for a myriad of banned substances and the results for all were clean.” Scopolamine, though illegal, is generally not considered a performance-enhancing drug. Rather it is found in jimsonweed, which grows wildly, and has been known to inadvertently get mixed into a horse’s feed. In a statement, the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium explained, “Scopolamine (also known as hyoscine) is conventionally used in human medicine for the prevention of motion sickness. It is available by prescription in tablet and transdermal patch formulations. It has also had limited use in conjunction with general anesthesia in reducing airway secretions. It is associated with side effects of dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, nausea and dry mouth.” Cont. p4 IALED the perfect combination 14 BLACK TYPE HORSES in 2019, incl. 2 stakes-winning 2YOs: ONYX, winner of the Sharp Susan S. at Gulfstream STRIVE FOR GLORY, winner of the Tipperary S. in Ireland Largest crop of yearlings selling at KEENELAND SEPTEMBER Mineshaft - Miss Doolittle, by Storm Cat Contact Ryan Norton: (859) 254-0424 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 18 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • SEPTEMBER 13, 2019 “Scopolamine has limited historical use in equine veterinary substance in areas where hay and straw are produced in medicine to relieve intestinal spasms in the treatment of gas California.
