According to Craig Robertson, the lawyer representing Bob Baffert, a second-post race test has confirmed that Medina Spirit (Protonico) tested positive for the prohibited corticosteroid betamethasone, which could lead to the horse being disqualified from this year=s GI Kentucky Derby. In response, Churchill Downs Inc. banned Baffert for two years. AIn response to the inquiries, this will acknowledge that the Medina Spirit split sample confirmed the finding of betamethasone at 25 picograms,@ Robertson said in a statement. AThere is other testing that is being conducted, including DNA testing. We expect this additional testing to confirm that the presence of the betamethasone was from the topical ointment, Otomax, and not an injection. At the end of the day, we anticipate this case to be about the treatment of Medina Spirit=s skin rash with Otomax. We will have nothing further to say until the additional testing is complete.@ As of the deadline for this story, the Kentucky Racing Commission had yet to make any statements regarding Medina Spirit and the Betamethasone positive and neither had it confirmed that Medina Spirit has failed any drug tests.

Churchill Suspends Baffert for Two Years Following Medina Spirit's Split Sample is Positive cont. from p1

Medina Spirit & Bob Baffert | Coady However, Churchill Downs took action of its own Wednesday, suspending the trainer until the conclusion of the spring meet in 2023. If Baffert cannot compete in the 2022 and 2023 Kentucky Derby many prominent owners may choose to give their horses to other trainers. Churchill issued a statement Wednesday, which read, in part: AThe suspension prohibits Baffert, or any trainer directly or indirectly employed by Bob Baffert Racing Stables, from entering horses in races or applying for stall occupancy at all CDI-owned racetracks. This decision follows the confirmation by attorneys representing Bob Baffert of the presence of betamethasone, a prohibited race-day substance, in Medina Spirit=s bloodstream on the day of the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby in violation of the Commonwealth of Kentucky=s equine medication protocols and CDI=s terms and conditions for racing.@ Churchill Downs CEO Bill Carstanjen made it clear that the company has no tolerance for anybody whose action might compromise the integrity of the sport. ACDI has consistently advocated for strict medication regulations so that we can confidently ensure that horses are fit to race and the races are conducted fairly,@ Carstanjen said. AReckless practices and substance violations that jeopardize the safety of our equine and human athletes or compromise the integrity of our sport are not acceptable and as a company we must take measures to demonstrate that they will not be tolerated. Mr. Baffert=s record of testing failures threatens public confidence in thoroughbred racing and the reputation of the Kentucky Derby. Given these repeated failures over the last year, including the increasingly extraordinary explanations, we firmly believe that asserting our rights to impose these measures is our duty and responsibility.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 16 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JUNE 3, 2021

AThat suspension remains in effect and NYRA will make a determination regarding the length and terms of Mr. Baffert=s suspension at the appropriate time and based on information generated by the ongoing investigation in Kentucky.@ After the news broke that the horse had tested positive after the Derby, trainer Bob Baffert and owner Amr Zedan requested that a second sample be sent to a laboratory, hoping that it would not show any traces of the prohibited medication.

RICHARD VEGA SUSPENDED BY PARX Vega has the option of appealing the ruling to the Pennsylvania Racing Commission. STEWARDS by Bill Finley According to a ruling posted on the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission's website, trainer Ricardo (Richie) Vega had been "summarily suspended" by the stewards at Parx Racetrack. The story was first reported by the website www.theracingbiz.com. The decision comes after the racing commission staged a backstretch raid at Parx over the weekend of May 22-23. Investigators searched cars, barns and grooms' quarters. Tom Chuckas, who heads the Pennsylvania Racing Commission, reported to his fellow regulators during a Zoom call that "a significant amount of contraband" had been uncovered and that the contraband included, "items that have no business on the backside." On the day of Chuckas' announcement, all three horses trained by Vega were scratched by the stewards. He has not had a runner since. The stewards issued their suspension on May 24, but it was appealed by Vega's lawyer. On May 27, the appeal was heard and denied. Richard Vega | Equi-Photo

LEGENDARY RACECALLER TOM DURKIN babies' for West Point Thoroughbreds. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, I travel, I go to Pinehurst, North Carolina in the JOINS WRITERS' ROOM winter to get out of the northeast for a couple of months. Other than that, life is good.@ Elsewhere on the show, which is also sponsored by Keeneland, West Point Thoroughbreds, the Minnesota Racehorse Engagement Project and Legacy Bloodstock, the writers analyzed all of the Memorial Day Weekend stakes action, gave their first impressions of whip-less Monmouth meet and previewed a blockbuster Belmont Racing Festival. Plus, after the news broke while the show was wrapping, they talked through their initial thoughts on Medina Spirit (Protonico)'s split-sample test coming back positive. Click here to watch the podcast; click here for the audio-only version.

For decades, Tom Durkin was the singular voice of Thoroughbred racing, not just from his perch in the announcer's LETTER TO THE EDITOR FROM JAMES booths at New York Racing Association tracks, but also on nationally-televised broadcasts, where he brought colorful life to MCINGVALE: WHERE YOU BET MATTERS so many of the iconic memories etched in racing fans' minds the world over. He has been less visible since stepping down from racecaller duties in 2014, but is still involved in the game, and he joined the TDN Writers' Room presented by JPMorgan Private Bank Wednesday morning as the Green Group Guest of the Week to talk about what he's been up to, reminisce on his favorite and least favorite GI Belmont S. moments and much more. AI can tell you right off the bat, the worst Belmont memories are when I get up on Belmont morning and it's sunny,@ Durkin said when asked his favorite and least favorite memories from the Test of the Champion. AThe Belmont is almost run at sunset and Belmont Park is one of the few racetracks that faces north. So the sun sets in the west and when the horses turn for home, they're all backlit. They are mere shadows from the quarter pole to almost the eighth pole. So you have to have a photographic James McIngvale with Runhappy at Claiborne image of those horses in your brain right before they make that Courtesy of Gallery Furniture turn into the stretch because they become invisible.

2021 RENEWAL OF PENNINE RIDGE DOWNGRADED The GII Pennine Ridge S. at Belmont was downgraded to a Grade III event after coming off the turf last Saturday, according to a TOBA release. The American Graded Stakes Committee reviewed the result and determined that the original Grade II status would not be reinstated. It is the policy of the American Graded Stakes Committee that a race that is scheduled for the turf course, but is moved to the dirt track after the closing of nominations because the turf course is unsuitable for racing, is automatically downgraded one level for that running only. The Committee will, however, review the running of any race that is automatically downgraded as a result of this policy and may reinstate its former status. Friday's Penn Oaks and Sunday's Paradise Creek S., which were also rained off the turf, will both be recorded as run, as non- listed black-type events.

FRANKIE ON SNOWFALL LAST CALL FOR BREEZERS AT GORESBRIDGE IN NEWMARKET By Emma Berry IN CAZOO OAKS NEWMARKET, UKCCA little later than scheduled, the European 2-year-old sales season will conclude on Thursday with the Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-up, which has returned to Newmarket for a second year owing to ongoing Covid travel restrictions. What was already a bumper catalogue for a one-day sale of more than 200 horses has been beefed up still by the inclusion of 16 wild cards that have been rerouted from other recent sales for a variety of reasons. They include horses with some pretty starry pedigrees, so be prepared for some of the major action to take place late in the day. Indeed the last three catalogued all have plenty to recommend them on paper.
