2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit's positive drug test causes trainer Bob Baffert's two-year suspension and missed 150th Kentucky Derby.

Bob Baffert, renowned horse racing trainer, misses the 150th Kentucky Derby for the third consecutive year due to a two-year suspension imposed by Churchill Downs Inc.

The colt's disqualification led to two years of lawsuits, but Baffert failed to be reinstated.
