Sad day for me. My mother and I have been making a day of the derby for the last 15+ years up until last year. Unfortunately all other the OTB's around here are closed, so we haven't been able to do it. Hopefully next year

[Doc]

Not interested after last year's tomfoolery. 

 

I might have a mint julep, though.

Baffert is the 🤴.  Interesting interview they had with him and Belichik. 

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Just realized that Bob Baffert is actually Rick Flair in disguise.

LOL!  Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test.

He definitely seems innocent to me.

I can't imagine anyone would use a banned substance when testing is after race. Sounds more like sabotage , he needs security and camera on horse to keep it safe.

Or the masking agent didn't last long enough..

This seems to happen to Baffert frequently. And he’s good friends with Belichick. Hmm.

Did you ever collect?  Or did you collect, and then they came knock-knock-knocking at your front door to repo the cash?

[WotAGuy]

Twin Spires took my money and then I took it back. Used PayPal and had my payoff in my bank account within about 12 hours or so. Took a little while for it to get processed by PayPal

This is probably the end of this "win":

They say cheaters never win, but they sure make a lot of money.

Bob Baffert is suspended and fined:
