Bob Baffert has a unique excuse for why Medina Spirit failed a drug test following the Kentucky Derby.
According to Baffert, a groom who was taking cough medicine urinated in the hay in Medina Spirit’s stall. The horse then ate the tainted hay, which led to the positive test.
Baffert says one test issue was created by a groom urinating in the stall after the groom had been taking cough medicine. Horse ate some of the hay.
Baffert also believes “cancel culture” played a role:
