I'd think that some track exec or head of security could easily have come over and made a judgement call and just said let them through. Sorry, I don't see this as anything that wouldn't infuriate anyone else.

Same garbage happens in Nascar and it's ridiculous. I was actually wearing credentials and a hot pass in Atlanta and the guard wouldn't let me through because he thought I was a pit lizard trying to get in. AND I HAD CREDENTIALS ON. I was infuriated, but no where near as infuriated as my boyfriend who had to come up to the gate and get me... needless to say, the guard apologized profusely, but that kind of garbage ticks me off...
Baffert has more important things to worry about than credentials and getting people in. If he says, "this person is with me", than that should be all that is needed. I would have thrown a complete fit.
