#KentuckyDerby #Preakness #HorseRacing
Disgusting how the 3 studio analysts are crucifying Baffert at the desk as the Preakness is airing live- …theirs is only a court of PUBLIC OPINION while shrouding Baffert in shame. . .but if Baffert seeks to run this through a judicial court only to shut these middle agedÂÂÂ
hamðŸÂ–hocks down, maybe he should. ,
this entire diatribe in to Baffert reeks of a further agenda which smacks to the downfall of a great American tradition being proxied off to foreign investors and foreign ownership alike-
kiss an American racing history goodbye as these scripted industry analysts seek to bury this country to the core from its original roots. ,
So for future trainer to tied , baffert kentucky victory's, seven he have to be veryvery,lucky 7
NBC can not report on a subject without using words that are not applicable. A. The medication as an ointment is NOT a Steroid. B Baffert didn't admit to wrong doing, he found the cause and made it public. C. The medication in the amount found did not and Could NOT affect the horse's racing speed or endurance or pain level. The effect on the out come of the derby was 0 – zip-Nada.
Why does NBC and other broadcasters have to make things so detrimental when the situation is so blown out about almost nothing. It seems they just love to hate. It would be interesting to find out these media people really know about the sport!!
I hate horse racing. I hate what they do to these horses. I will never forget and still angry over what happened to Barbaro
These horses are in pain. Why did the horse need an anti-inflammatory in the first place
Blood doping…Lance Armstrong…Sebastian Coe…horse…bike…run…like having pure oxygen every step.
Haha 😂 money 💴 talk
30 drug violations and still at the top of his profession; yes, that's the horse-racing I know…
Why don't you make a long story short steroidsðŸ‘ÂÂ🇹🇷✌ï¸ÂÂ
Just only wish him All the very best!!!! God bless you Lil Man!!! Be safe!!
The real reason this is not being pursued is that the drug in question is not really a performance enhancing drug.
I bet everything on the drug dealer
Put ya money on the druggie. Only users lose drugs !
especially the Ladies in politics
those are very rude by horses
get the reporters illness
Cocaine Bob got lucky.
Que es eso, corre envenenado y lo premian permitiendole correr el preakness, no me crean tan idiota, la hipica americana y del sur del continente nobes sino VENENO
How can anybody anymore look at this guy with a Straight Face….🤆Since Steriod Ointment won't be allowed in Watch for Bob's 2nd Horse ðŸÂ‡ "Concert Tour" to Wingman Type Block out other Horses so that "Medina" can get a Win n Triple Crown Possibility at Belmont !!
ðŸâ€â€Ã‚£ hey that guy is winning to much I want some of that money
😢😥😢😥😢😥😢😥😢😥🥺
neener neener neener
Im fairly sure a topical sterroid wouldnt show up that perfusely in bloodwork.
Why did she try to say the name of the drug. That was weird. Girl, just say steroid. lol
It requires money to make money. this is the best secret I have ever discovered we don't make money, we EARn and MULTIPLY money.
Non horse people are clueless. It isn't a "change" in his story. Anti-inflammatory meds are typically injected or given in an oral paste, which wasn't done. Using a fungal ointment wouldn't be an initial thought of how this minuscule residual drug entered the bloodstream.
Bob gets away with it once again,
Bob has money and big time friends who will always protect him

Owner should get a new trainer.
i guess that money got into the right hands. old bob, his story changes everyday. well seems this mystic drugging has happened atleast 30 times with bob. look for bobs new book, juiced 2.
So did he get to keep his win in the Kentucky derby win?
'Cancel Culture' , yeah right, Bob. Another criminal success story, with horsies, wheee!
