Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit’s positive, post-victory drug test was confirmed by a second sample.
Trainer Bob Baffert’s attorney said there is other testing the trainer hopes will confirm the Betamethazone found in the tests was from a topical ointment used to treat a skin rash and not an injection.
If the results are confirmed by all tests, Medina Spirit will be stripped of his derby win and his owner will forfeit nearly $2 million.
