On the other hand, placing myself in the shoes of those mentioned previously, I believe I would be seeking some form of compensation or redress. If it is found to be true it is nothing short of theft.

No it isn't. The risk that you lose to someone who is doping a horse is known and assumed. If you don't like it, nobody forces you to bet on horse races.
Indeed, horseplayers take PED use into account, by betting down the odds on super-trainers. These are suits by losers who failed to properly weigh the influence of Baffert in their handicapping. They deserve nothing back and ought to be ashamed of themselves for filing these meritless suits.
