I know exactly why! Because Baffert suspension is till July 4th. This way no matter what he will serve the full suspension. 

Appeal denied, dismissal

The fight is not over

 This is so wrong: he has no violations in New York, right? how can they do this?

The goal is to put him out of business. 
I do not understand it either.

The pressure is coming from the anti racing groups, who are targeting the big players and the goal is to end racing forever.

HISA is starting up in July, NYRA is trying to prohibit about a dozen trainers from running horses at their tracks before that kicks in.

Jealousy is an ugly thing - horse trainers I am sure are elated that Baffert is not running in the Triple Crown races and may be banned from New York. Truly, it makes me sick.

New York always seems to want to be bigger, better and more bada$s then everyone, do I’m not surprised they’re doing this. But I didn’t think they were a private entity like CDI, but they say they are?

I love this!!
