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.

I agree Amy,

It's exactly b/c of all the priors that I don't believe he's guilty. Baffert isn't stupid. He knows the microscope's been on him. He wouldn't risk it. 

Trial by Twitter - that's the disturbing aspect of all this.

I believe he will be proven to be  not guilty of this 

He  is way. too visible to risk his entire career in a race where he is

under great scrutiny -- it does not make sense

When they collect the urine or the blood or both. At the time of the collection they put equal amounts into two containers, 1 is sent off to the lab for testing and the second one is held back Incase they want to run a second test, as is the case with this one. So the first sample tested positive and the other half will go to another lab for testing to see if they come up with the same results.
