Judge Mitch Perry denied a request by Zedan Racing Stables to allow Arkansas Derby winner Muth, trained by suspended trainer Bob Baffert, to compete in the 150th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Zedan Racing Stables argued that the ban on Baffert was "illegal," but Judge Perry declined to grant a temporary injunction, expressing concern about displacing eligible horses. The stables plan to file an emergency appeal "as soon as possible."
