SportReutersHorse racing-Ointment could explain Medina Spirit positive test - Baffert
Baffert, who won a record seventh Kentucky Derby with Medina Spirit on May 1, said the horse developed dermatitis on his hind end after the Santa Anita Derby in April and his veterinarian recommended daily use of Otomax to prevent it from spreading. "I have been told by equine pharmacology experts that this could explain the test results," Hall of Fame trainer Baffert said in a statement. Medina Spirit's post-race sample after the Kentucky Derby tested positive for 21 picograms of anti-inflammatory drug betamethasone, over the legal limit in Kentucky racing, and Baffert was suspended from racing at Churchill Downs.
