During the pandemic I was betting Fonner park and whatever Australia had to offer along with whatever tree in my backyard bloomed first. I’ll be taking in all the Pimilco action Saturday. Enjoy!

Lukas isn’t helping with the public perception of the sport.

The lower level excuse doesn’t matter. It’s above the limit of detection and demonstrates the drug was given inside the window it’s was allowed. Sure at that time of race it probably had no impact but still is against rules. I still call bull on the vet no knowing it was in otomax. It’s a key ingredient

Even with that addition, his comment is incredibly tone deaf and his attitude is the exact reason there was a need for federal legislation to regulate the industry. Clearly people in the industry can’t do it themselves.

I don't like the word "federal" but I believe it is time for 1 governing body like the major sports have. Accountability is clearly lacking.

It's total BS. It just gave him another alibi to build on. I liked BB. I trusted BB and I was made a fool by BB. In all the years I have watched this sport I have never been so let down but BB is only half of this Preakness problem. Pimlico had a chance to say that cheating will not be tolerated. Instead they caved in like a sinkhole and should be ashamed for letting him participate in this race knowing that he broke the rules and has already been DQ'd and banned from racing in KY. I don't care if you stick a camera up both of their asses until post time, it is not fair to the public, the jockeys , the bettors and all the other connections that have to race with a different set of rules than the so-called elite. If BB had some courage and truly cared about the longevity and character of the sport and not how many trophy's he can get then he would have dropped out himself and wait for that split sample to confirm that he broke the rules. I am still waiting to hear some sort of apology but I guess it won't happen.

How would that affect the perspective? I'd venture a bet that this would be the biggest non-story since the last time he got caught. Instead the racing world is upside-down over it because the horse won, thus the automatic assumption by the media and casual fans of the sport is that the horse won because of this overage, not because he was allowed to walk the whole way, against one of the most horrid fields in recent history. Context would be helpful. And it would have been refreshing to see Lukas explain that, and why the perceived cause/effect is not accurate, rather than giving Baffert a pass and adding more fuel to the fire. |

I’m pissed that Baffert feels like rules don’t apply to him and has been enabled by those in charge for years. Medina Spirit didn’t win because he was “drugged.” |

I don't know if he is fast enough or not - I know he's never passed a horse in his life, so if he were to have any chance, he needs to be sent, thus would have provided some additional pace pressure at least early on.... I'm sure they are sending him tomorrow, so I agree, we'll see.
