Kentucky Horse Racing Commission stewards on Monday suspended Baffert for 90 days and fined the Hall of Fame trainer $7,500. They also stripped the now-deceased Medina Spirit of the victory for testing positive for the steroid betamethasone following the Derby last May 1.
KHRC director Marc A. Guilfoil on Friday sent a letter to Baffert’s attorneys saying he did “not find good cause” to stay the rulings.
