There will be no horse in the Kentucky Derby trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert this year. A Kentucky Court of Appeals judge denied a request by Baffert’s stable for an emergency ruling. Churchill Downs banned Baffert from the track after his Derby winner in 2021 — Medina Spirit — tested positive for steroids. The suspension was originally supposed to last until last year but in July, Churchill Downs extended his suspension until after this year’s Derby.
