"It's been 1,032 days since Amr Racing Stable's Medina Spirit crossed the finish line a half-length ahead of Mandaloun in the 2021 Kentucky Derby.
So much has happened since then. Medina Spirit failed a drug test, coming up positive for the corticosteroid betamethasone. The colt's trainer, Bob Baffert, was summarily banished from Churchill Downs Inc. racetrack properties – up to and including 2024 – and his horses have been deemed ineligible for the Kentucky Derby by company management, citing private property rights. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission issued a regulatory sanction against Baffert, suspending him for 90 days, and disqualifying Medina Spirit from the Derby victory. Baffert served the suspension in 2022.
But after the original ruling came lawsuits and court battles that went on and on and on, only ending one month ago when Baffert issued a "no mas" statement saying his team was going to drop the appeals and accept the ruling that disqualified Medina Spirit from his victory."
