We rolled our eyes too
During his monologue on Monday, Jimmy Kimmel took a few minutes to talk about the Kentucky Derby doping scandal, and like (we’re betting) a lot of you, he didn’t think very much of the excuse the horse’s trainer came up with.
For those of you who don’t care about gambling on horse racing while wearing your Sunday best, what happened is that Medina Spirit, the horse that won the Kentucky Derby, failed a postrace drug test, testing positive for banned performance-enhancing substances. An investigation is ongoing and if that result is confirmed by additional tests, Medina Spirit could become only the third horse in Kentucky Derby history to be disqualified and stripped of the title and winnings.
Now, it turns out that the horse’s trainer, Bob Baffert, has seen five of his horses fail such tests in the last year.
