I actually hope Baffert wins.

And I'm no huge fan of Baffert.

People are given wide latitude when making comments about "celebrities" or people very much in the public eye. It's tough to win a defamation lawsuit when you're as famous as Baffert.

However, the extortion thing I think might have legs.

I've been sparring with the Bafferts for years. Not worried about a thing. I hope both parties go down in flames with embarrassment

Ray Paulick posted a link to the underlying complaint with his story, for those interested:

For those who've already seen Swift's Twitter feed, there probably isn't much new.

It's all fun and games to engage in the equivalent of live action role play on Twitter - until you get sued by a very wealthy and litigious trainer.

Um……wtf?

Are these guys idiots?

No matter how you feel about Baffert, you have to admit it looks like extortion

That's the problem with these social media platforms. The morons outnumber the knowledgeable people by a ratio of 100 to 1.

You are being awfully generous. More like 10,000 to 1 or so.
