    This guy has to be the greatest horse trainer of all time. He keeps winning the Kentucky Derby. 7 times! This year with Medina Spirit. And not one but two Triple Crown winners, American Pharoah and Justify. Just incredible.

    And some with horses, like Medina Spirit, with an indifferent pedigree! You don't need million-dollar horses to win the Derby.

    I guess the same way Belichick did it, and John Wooden, and Rod Dedeaux...

    Now, if Belichick would just let me pick his WR's for him he'd have it made....

    Baffert says neither he nor anyone in his camp gave the horse drugs. Apparently Medina snuck out of his stable on Friday night and scored some drugs in downtown Lexington! :D

    I think he ends up being DQ'd.
    That's sad, given the amount of whatever it is that was in his system, they (officials) already said that amount wouldn't
    affect how he ran, but 'a rule is a rule'.
