Derby Aftermath

[moses]

Obviously for bettors who wagered through the track or an ADW, the results are final. Vegas casinos took bets outside of the parimutuel pools though. I wonder if their payout rule is different than what tracks do in the case of a DQ after the fact. I’m guessing no...but there was also this dispute between them and Churchill. I wonder how much they’d lose if they did payout following a DQ and whether that would draw gamblers to wager outside of the parimutuel pools.

Every trainer uses therapeutic drugs as part of their training regime.
But obviously most don't push the envelope like Baffert. When is the last time you heard Shug, Mott or Chad getting a positive.
Even if Baffert is totally innocent here, he has used up any goodwill and nobody is going to believe him.

If I recall correctly, Shug had a positive test in like Ohio a year or two ago, served his suspension, and moved on. Other than that, I can’t recall a positive test from him any time recently.
