The attempt to allow Bob Baffert to run a horse in this year’s Kentucky Derby was denied in a ruling by Jefferson County, Ky. judge Mitch Perry on Thursday seemingly ending a last-ditch effort by owner Amr Zedan to get Arkansas Derby winner Muth into the 150th running of the most famous horse race in the country, if not the world.
However, in July, Churchill added at least one more year to the penalty because it believed Baffert was not contrite enough. Baffert has had no violations in any state since Medina Spirit. Baffert and Zedan filed numerous suits to overturn the subsequent disqualification of Medina Spirit, and suspension of Baffert, but was unsuccessful in all efforts. This suit was different in that it contended that two years ago, Zedan bought six horses for $10.
