Bob Baffert's Return to the Kentucky Derby After Suspension
The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby will feature Hall of Fame horse trainer Bob Baffert, who returns after a suspension due to a failed drug test. Baffert's horse, Medina Spirit, had its victory in the 2021 Kentucky Derby invalidated. Baffert's legal battles with Churchill Downs and the racing commissions continue, but he will be present at this year's Derby with other trained horses.
