Previously on the Tony Cornizer Show.

You know, he ran credibly against life as good when life as good was at his best.

0:12.0

He's trained by Bob Baffer, the king of Derby trainers.

0:16.0

And he's run the speed figure as least as good as most of the horses in this race.

0:23.0

I mean, he's 15 to one in the morning line. So Medina Spirit is my shot for Torrey on Saturday.

The Tony Cornizer Show is on now.

0:37.0

That was two weeks ago today. Andy Byer came on the show, picked Medina Spirit, Medina Spirit 1.

0:43.0

I called him about 20 minutes after the race and he answered the phone by saying,

It's going to be a positive Medina spirit. We'll be disqualified.

Medoon will be the official winner of the Kentucky Derby.

2:17.0

Bob Baffer's reputation and kind of a sports image are really going to take a further hit that nobody needs.
