MORE ALLEGATIONS OF LEGAL EXPERT BENNETT LIEBMAN ON WHO WON, WHO LOST IN BAFFERT DECISION DAMAGED SAMPLES IN by Bill Finley As a Government Lawyer in Residence at Albany Law School MEDINA SPIRIT TESTING and an adjunct professor of law, attorney and educator, Bennett Liebman has long had his finger on the pulse when it comes to racing's rules, regulations and laws. He has written extensively on the subjects of due process and whether or not racetracks have the right to exclude licensees, two key elements of Bob Baffert's lawsuit against NYRA in which he sought injunctive relief to have his suspension temporarily overturned. For three years, the New Yorker was Deputy Secretary to the Governor for Gaming and Racing. For more than a decade, he was a member of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. Cont. p4

It is the second time in seven weeks that a party in this court case has alleged that samples came back contaminated from an accredited lab. On June 1--the same date that Medina Spirit=s referee sample was announced as positive--the KHRC informed Baffert and Zedan that body fluid remnants had been damaged during transport to the split-sample testing lab.

BL: It was generally assumed all along that NYRA and all the state's racetracks have the power to exclude licensees. If NYRA follows the judge's decision, the course is to hold an unbiased due process hearing on whether they should exclude Baffert. Once that is done, they will have the right to exclude him.

TDN: The judge ruled that NYRA violated Baffert's due process rights because it did not give him a hearing before suspending him. Did NYRA make a strategic error by not giving him that hearing?

BL: The judge clearly thought so. It's very hard for me to sit back and judge what NYRA did or should have done. But the judge clearly thought they would have been within their rights to have given him a hearing and that they would have been much better off to have given him a hearing before they made a decision to exclude him.

TDN: At the hearing, NYRA's lawyers said that a decision would be made regarding the terms and lengths of Baffert's suspension following an Aug. 11 meeting of the Board of Directors. What's your take on that?

Bob Baffert | Benoit BL: That's not normally something the Board of Directors does. TDN: Should NYRA eventually suspend Baffert, what can he do The Board of Directors' main job is approving the budget. It's not to fight back? exactly a judicial body of any note.

BL: The court agreed that NYRA was a state actor and that was a BL: One is whether or not NYRA will appeal [Judge Amon's huge deal. If the court found that NYRA was not a state actor decision]? I don't know. Instead of doing that they can simply go then what it did would have clearly been ok. But the judge ahead and give him a hearing. Another question is whether or determined that NYRA was a state actor. It's a very contentious not NYRA will give Baffert stall space? There was nothing in the issue.

But it's always going to be a difficult issue. can easily find some place to stable at off track. I don't think NYRA's exactly going to make Clare Court available to him. TDN: Is that why, to date, Baffert hasn't taken any legal action to have the ban issued by Churchill Downs overturned? Obviously, Churchill is privately owned and not a state agency.

He said, "We are a horse-loving nation and we greatly pride and value our reputation as an equine nation but the onus has to come to the Department of Agriculture on the issue of horse ownership. We need to get horse ownership in Ireland, the traceability and where they are sold, how they are sold and where they are exported all into one central database." John Osborne, director of equine welfare and bloodstock for Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and a member of the recently formed Irish Thoroughbred Welfare Council, told the Irish Times that HRI is looking at introducing a 'horse purse' linked to the new epassports for Thoroughbreds, which would guarantee a sum of money per horse. He said, "Every passport has a sum of money attached to it.
