Wow!

This could get very interesting. How are they going to handle the Triple Crown implications?

A couple points

This episode was one more instance that points to Baffert taking an edge and I doubt what was found in Justify is what he cheats with IMO

One more example of the CHRB covering up for Baffert. Glad they go caught.

It’s California jurisdiction. It involves the Santa Anita Derby. Not the Triple Crown

If you argue he should have been DQ'd from the SA Derby and he subsequently is, then technically he should not have been allowed in the Ky Derby because he didn't have enough points. I'm not a lawyer, but it feels like one mess could open another.

The CHRB acted in a way that was totally corrupt and unconscionable. I'd love to see Ruis and the owners clean their clocks.

I highly doubt this judge is allowed to make that stretch. Not saying it would not lead to future filings. But he’s going to rule on the contention at Santa Anita.

Right.

I'm talking about potential future problems after this is settled.

It likely can't because that sort of eligibility isn't a ground for DQ from the Derby, but OTOH the Triple Crown is a trademark and if they said "you are no longer to refer to Justify as a TC winner", that might stick.

Thinking about this more, Churchill might have a viable lawsuit for fraud against Baffert based on his representation that Justify met the eligibility requirements when he didn't. And Churchill could possibly get the purse money back and might even be able to seek a declaratory judgment that Justify was ineligible to run in and did not win the Derby. That could fly if Churchill feels strongly enough about this.

That makes zero logical sense.


As "Churchill" was the entity which allowed Justify to run in the Derby, so they'd be on the liable end.

LOL - talk about self-incrimination.


"Good Magic" would be a fitting match to some of the even-more-recent Derby winners.


Beyond that, when a random person enters a random horse in a race, he may get fined for entering an ineligible horse (though not in this case, because he was apparently "eligible" at the time of entry), but the ultimate burden is on the association to determine that eligibility.
