I doubt he talked to Servis, switching MS to Baffert

Wow, I know that the West’s have horse’s with Bob already but this one shocks me. This article says MS and Midnight Bisou are in Chicago in quarantine so once released I am sure he will head straight to Baffert. If I owned the horse, I would send him to a farm (one with a pool or water treadmill so he can keep some conditioning) for 30 days.

I would think Baffert would have blood test done to see if MS has anything in his system now and vet check to make sure he’s okay?

I hear it very briefly on The Today Show this morning but only briefly. We don't need this now. Last year Santa Anita and now this year it's this..

Unfortunately you can’t test for it because it’s not one drug it’s a compounded drug that on its own is totally legal and does nothing to enhance the runner. But compounding it makes it a PED.
Yes I am sure the horse will be thoroughly looked over, I just think in KY at a farm is the best place to send him for a short period of time.

Maybe he does better in the track setting? I think there will be many discussions to see if they allow him to keep his wins? Going forward we’ll see if he can still run like he did or if they retire him if training is not up to Baffert’s standard. But what does that do to his stud plan’s ?
