I think they are hoping that the Kentucky Derby Issue would be resolved by this. At the most if he is found to have Betamethasone in his system and the rule in KY is a 14 day suspension not a 2 year suspension.
You do know that the 2 Lidocaine positives from Oaklawn were reversed and Bob was found to not be guilty because other horses that same day tested positive and the investigation found it to be contamination from a track worker not Jimmy Barnes.

Yes, I do know about the Oak Lawn reversal. But I don’t think the Churchill suspension can be reversed by anyone but Churchill?

You are correct, however once the Kentucky Horse RAcing Association finally concludes their Derby issue with Bob and issues a ruling. I am sure he will go after CDI with a suit saying 2 years is too long when KHRA only gave him x number of days (if any)

Maximum Security and Dubai haven’t settled yet either.:(
