So NYRA has now called Baffert's bluff and said "OK, you want us to lay out formal charges, here you go". And the result of this is not just a suspension proceeding, but basically a press release trashing Baffert. Here's your due process, big boy!

Its about time somebody in NY woke up. |

There would be a 100% chance that a lawsuit would have resulted if CD had waited until next spring to make retroactive rules. Actions taken next spring would be seen as punishment of the owners as well as the intended target. Now there is a very clear path for the owners to take.

They will still get sued.
The issue is NOT "getting sued". Rich people who don't get what they want always sue. |

They would sue because they couldn't use a banned trainer? |

Or Baffert will sue. Or both.
Churchill expects lawsuits. The thing is, they are right. They owe zero obligation to let a guy who cheated in their race compete in it. And they will win. |

Let’s make no mistake what’s going on here, and it’s about time some state does it……and there’s only one that could. Kentucky with its problem child on the west coast is getting put in its place by New York.

Re: the west coast.
We can't fill fields, run less and less racedays, and Baffert sometimes runs 2 or 3 horses in our big stakes. That made him untouchable.
California regulators are truly scared of a big suspension coming out of Kentucky. Because they would have to abide by it under reciprocity, and that would leave our racing completely decimated.
But the reckoning is coming, one way or another. |

He and his owners can be as untouchable as they want in California in my opinion, but this goes beyond that
This is a straight shot across the bow of the KD and Breeders cup |

The outright rooting for the downfall of other human beings, not very God like. |

He caused his own downfall.
Nobody had to root for it.
Are you endorsing cheaters?
Is cheating God-like? |

His downfall? Don't be ridiculous. He has more money than God and nobody is proposing taking it away from him.
We are rooting for the sport to be cleaned up. |

If this sport was completely cleaned up you would not have enough horses to fill one race card a week at any racetrack.
There have been problems with horse racing as far back as anybody reading these posts can remember.
Wherever their is money involved problems will exist. The lords of racing are always going after somebody. |
