By Dan Wolken, USA TODAY: Arizona alum Bob Baffert acknowledged Sunday that Medina Spirit, the 12-1 shot who went wire-to-wire in last Saturdayâs Derby, returned a positive post-race test over the allowed limit for betamethasone, a common anti-inflammatory drug.
If the test is confirmed, Churchill Downs said in a statement Sunday that Medina Spirit will be stripped of the winâsomething that hasnât happened since 1968 when Dancerâs Image was disqualified three days after the race after phenylbutazone was detected in his system.
