What is Baffert's record insofar as suspensions for drug abuse of his horses ?

There was the morphine suspension in 2001 that eventually got thrown out in court. Don't know if there were any others.

Wasn't there a controversy regarding War Emblem after Baffert took over for Reavis, a drug to help out his joints?

War Emblem was always rumored to have been nerve blocked in the Belmont, but what do I know?

He took over from Frank Springer. War Emblem dusted my future book bet Repent by 6+ lengths and got a 112 Beyer in his final Derby prep.

Considering the pokey pace in that years Derby - and WE's candy trip - I doubt Baffert moved him up a yard.

Correct it was Springer, I should have knew that, I had him in the Illinois Derby formerly at Sportsman Park.
