Baffert seeks to end the appeal of Medina Spirit's Kentucky Derby DQ.

Bob Baffert, a Hall of Fame trainer, has requested that his appeal of Medina Spirit's disqualification as the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner be ended. The colt failed a postrace drug test, detecting betamethasone in his system. Baffert appealed the disqualification two years ago for using topical ointment, which is legal in Kentucky but banned on race day.
