Actually, the thread started with "is Baffert becoming a villain" not accusing him of cheating with this particular horse. His long history of horses that can rebreak at the top of the stretch, improve rapidly out of nowhere, drop dead out of nowhere, and all of the drug positives are worth considering. Is it good in 2020 that this guy is still dominating major races? Is it good for racing's image? I think those are valid questions.
