I don't know what to think. And I had the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place horses in the Derby and would have made boatloads if MS runs out. What's hard about Baffert is he gets outrageously good stock. He shouldn't need to cheat. It's not as if he's claiming cheap horses and reversing form by 20 lengths after he claims them. Always thought we had way worse milkshakers out here in CA than Baffert. Doug O'Neill and Jeff Mullins are top of mind. And nothing like I see at other tracks. Some of these trainers are 40+% off the claim. I mean, how?
But I digress. If the horse confirms positive strip the Derby win. Once his owners start paying the price for his transgressions it may be a different story.
