But, he played the I'm BB and you can't do this to me card. The other trainers you mention accept or appeal the length of suspension and/or fine. BB acts like he is bigger than horse racing IMO. Also, remember he had an overage in the Oaks with Gamine and the same drug the prior year.

All true so the question is now. If he didn't appeal and make excuses. Would they still be doing it? Like you said other trainers have appealed both the length of the suspension and fine. So the only difference is that he made excuses? Wow you really are grasping at straws. He's won 4 of the last 5 Derby's. That's what I think they don't like. They call it the hardest race to win and he made it look easy. It doesn't make for good TV if Baffert wins every year. Throw in that he's not humble about it and there you go.
