Are you suggesting that it's a least a possibility that somebody outside of the Baffert camp tampered with the Medina Spirit drug test? Or slipped Medina Spirit the 21 picograms of betamethasone found in his system?

You'd think Baffert would be smart enough not to let this happen, particularly since he's had multiple prior issues with other horses. Or maybe he thinks he can continue to skirt a full on suspension based on reputation?

(side note/subtle brag - Baffert has participated in the annual March Madness tourney run by my close friend for the past several years. There's about 100 of us at $10 an entry. So this story hits a little close to home.)
Not at all.

My point is horse racing is dirty as fuck, in general terms.
