If the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's ruling to disqualify Medina Spirit from the Kentucky Derby and serve trainer Bob Baffert a fine and 90-day suspension left you with questions, don't worry. You're not alone.
We have received a pile of questions from readers about the ruling since it was announced on Monday, inquiring about the procedure from practically every angle. It's a complicated subject from a legal, veterinary, administrative, and racing standpoint, and it can be difficult to follow, even if you're well-established within the horse racing industry.
On this episode of The Friday Show, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills and editor-in-chief Natalie Voss compiled reader questions, along with some of their own, to help better understand what can be a tangled situation.
We invited attorney Bob Heleringer, author of the book “Equine Regulatory Law,” to help us sort out what we've seen so far during Baffert's regulatory and court battles in Kentucky, New York, and elsewhere, where we stand today, and where things might go from here.
