Summary

You've heard it by now. The Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit may have had an allegedly "illegal" substance in the blood stream. The post race drug test showed trace amounts of a drug not allowed and now legendary trainer and multi-derby winner, Bob Baffert, has been suspended along with Medina Spirit. And what is he worried about? The horse's reputation. That's right. The animal's reputation. Like anyone cares about that. The horse actually acted on its' own and behaved badly? C'mon. Baffert went on to say that the horse may have eaten hay contaminated by another horse's urine and that tainted his blood. Now for that, I say stupid horse. That could ruin your reputation.

1:31.0	Actually, it's a legal therapeutic medicine and the amount that was in it wouldn't have any effect on the horse anyway
1:36.2	But we don't the horse was never treated with that and so that's the disturbing part of it. You ready for this? I never thought I'd have to be fighting for my
