Medina Spirit’s Split Sample Reportedly Positive


Recommended Posts

  • Journalists

According to Joe Drape of the New York Times, the split sample has been returned for beleaguered Medina Spirit (Protonico), who crossed the wire first in the May 1 GI Kentucky Derby but had his post-race drug test come back positive for the banned medication betamethasone. According to Drape, the split sample has also returned with a positive finding.

Medina Spirit faces the possibility of being only the second Derby winner in the race's history to be disqualified for a medication positive, following Dancer's Image in 1968.

Neither Churchill Downs nor trainer Bob Baffert has yet responded to the alleged findings.

This story will be updated.
