Between 2011 and 2013, seven Bob Baffert trained horses died suddenly during training. A subsequent CHRB report noted that the horses had been administered thyroxine–a thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroid conditions–and that use of thyroxine is “concerning in horses with suspected cardiac failure.”

And for those who want or need a reminder from when this occurred:

whatever baffert is doing, does he have some kind of patent on it so no one else can do the same thing?
