Bob Baffert - The Arrogant Liar

"But medical records obtained by the Paulick Report for Baffert trainee Havnameltdown indicate that as of April 2023, his veterinary team was using the drug for joint injections.

Havnameltdown suffered a fatal injury to his left front fetlock during the running of this year's Grade 3 Chick Lang Stakes on the undercard for the Preakness, which Baffert would go on to win with National Treasure."

So here we go again with this...  He's long overdue to get the same punishment Dutrow got.

One thing I think we can be pretty sure of.  CDI, may decide to add on to its KD ban.  So far, it's only next year.

Times 2...imo!!

Another Baffert 2 year old died as a result of injuries sustained on August 26th.This guy should not be left anywhere near horses

Fully agree.  One of my friends sent me a copy of the full necropsy report of Havnameltdown.  All 4 legs bone on bone.  It's a frightening read.  The horse was a physical wreck. The poor horse even had a huge infestation of worms.  That is neglect, plain and simple.

It was part of a long tweet.  My friend said she would send it to me once it's digitized and I'll be able to share it here.

What I read was appalling.

I am trying to figure out who is worse;Baffert or the morons who keep sending him horses

Birds of a feather....as the saying goes.

Any vet working for Baffert better be careful...

Merrily and very profitably treating horses and not doing record keeping, not establishing valid client/vet relationships, pushing the envelope in as many directions as possible...in the Beta Bob spider web.

Corrupt vets are to be held in contempt.  I'm sure these 4 are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when one telescopes out and views the national scene.

Once again the horses get the shortest end of the stick, followed by the bettors and fans of the horses and the sport.
