Churchill Downs is extending Hall of Fame fitness instructor Bob Baffert’s suspension through 2024.
Churchill Downs Incorporated revealed Monday it was continuing Baffert’s restriction pointing out “continued concerns regarding the threat to the safety and integrity of racing he poses to CDI-owned racetracks.”
Baffert was at first suspended for 2 years after 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit stopped working a postrace drug test.
In a declaration, Churchill Downs said Baffert continues to pitch incorrect stories about Medina Spirit’s stopped working drug test. The business went on to state it will re-evaluate Baffert’s status after 2024.
