 Churchill Downs has lifted the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert more than three years after a failed drug test of his 2021 Kentucky Derby champion Medina Spirit. Ending the Baffert banishment allows the Hall of Fame trainer to resume racing his horses at the historic Louisville track and partner facilities. Baffert issued a statement in which he took responsibility for Medina Spirit's failed drug test. Kentucky racing stewards disqualified the horse the winter after the 2021 race.
