 Churchill Downs has lifted its extended suspension of Bob Baffert more than three years after a failed drug test of the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner, 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.
