CDI does pre race testing and the horse passed that one with flying colors!

Could be the labs again, but after the Oaklawn positives, this doesn’t look good.

It's a pretty amazing coincidence.

Also this from BH article

Churchill Downs clarified Sunday afternoon with BloodHorse that horses trained by Baffert would not be permitted to run under an assistant's name, a practice often employed by trainers while serving suspensions or undergoing the appeals process.

I read it can be applied topically, so wonder if anyone handling the horse had it on their hands from using on another horse?

this is just another reason for the Horse integrity and safety act, to regulate this stuff at every track!

Gamine’s Oaklawn positive from 2020 of lidocaine was not the only positive That weekend from Oaklawn. However it was the only Baffert one. 
the lower the threshold they test for the more likely we see environmental contamination.
