A second post-race drug test for Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit confirmed a prohibited substance was present, a lawyer for the horse’s trainer said on Wednesday, raising the possibility the dark bay colt might be disqualified.
While a decision on whether to disqualify Medina Spirit will depend on the outcome of a Kentucky Horse Racing Commission investigation, Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) moved swiftly by banning the colt’s Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert for two years.
