The California Horse Racing Board might be fooled but not me.

quote:


The California Horse Racing Board announced Friday that no definitive cause of death had been found for 2021 Kentucky Derby champion Medina Spirit.

Medina Spirit died suddenly after a workout on Dec. 6 at three years old, prompting a necropsy to determine the cause of death.

A team of experts conducted pathology, toxicology and equine drug testing on the colt.

“The swollen lungs and foam in the trachea [windpipe], enlarged spleen, and congestion and mild hemorrhages in other tissues seen on the postmortem examination are common in horses dying suddenly, and are compatible with, but not specific for, a cardiac cause of death,” the board said.

Medina Spirit was cremated following the examination and the report was sent to more experts for independent review. The board said it will investigate any potential rule violations found during that review.

The horse's death came after his trainer was barred from competing in the Kentucky Derby in 2022 and 2023 after Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone on race day, The Associated Press reported.

Although the medication is legal, it is not allowed for horses on race day, per the AP.

Bob Baffert murdered the horse as revenge for killing his career and I will not let him get away with it.

So, no evidence of poisoning at all, let alone by whom. Innocent until proven guilty. But I suspect the "buzz" of the goon hivemind will disagree, ho hum.

if only the horse had been allowed to take sufficient amounts of betamethasone, they may still be alive today

If you think about it though, we’ve probably all killed a horse indirectly by allowing an ant to live or maybe even from making a loud sound like an audible footstep.

Medina Spirits devotion to the Baha’i faith was well known. There is no need to bring in crude stereotypes regarding his name when he was MURDERED by Bob Baffert.

hold on it turns out that muohamed's horse (pbuh) was called 'Buraq' which sounds like 'Bob' if you say it really fast

could this be a new angle??

there's actually a poo poo-ton of cloned horses, but the horse racing authority won't let them compete in races or breed.

Actually the funniest thing about American racehorses is that Mexican and Quebecois people eat them in burgers despite them being pumped full of all sorts of illegal substances.
