Churchill Downs Sued Ove Baffert Ban

[theriver55]

The owner of Arkansas Derby winner Muth has sued Churchill Downs Inc. and is seeking a temporary injunction against what it called the track's "illegal" ban of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert that keeps the colt he trained from competing in next month's 150th Kentucky Derby.

The historic track initially suspended Baffert for two years on June 2, 2021, following a failed postrace drug test by colt Medina Spirit, now deceased, who crossed the finish line first in the 2021 race but was later disqualified. Churchill Downs extended the ban through at least the end of 2024 in July and cited "continued concerns" about the safety and integrity of racing that Baffert posed to CDI-owned tracks.
