Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 21, 2022 Journalists Share Posted September 21, 2022 Clay Patrick, the hearing officer assigned to the Bob Baffert-Medina Spirit Derby disqualification case, has recused himself three weeks after the appeal was heard, according to Paulick Report. Amr Zedan's attorney Clark Brewster unknowingly bought a horse at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale that was co-owned by Patrick, who operates the family-owned Ramspring Farm. Patrick was expected to make a recommendation on the appeal to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission within 60 to 90 days. “After I bought the colt, I noticed how young the mare is and looked to see who owned her,” Brewster told Paulick Report. “When I saw that she had been bought by Ramspring Farm and Milam Farm, I asked Mark Taylor who that was.” Brewster added that a new hearing officer would be appointed and either conduct another hearing or possibly use the transcripts from the first appeal.
