None of Bob’s assistants can take on the horses as the trainer. But they can stay on and help the new trainer.
When they race they will race under Sean McCarthy not Jimmy Barnes, this is acceptable.

Duh!! He can’t run horses anywhere in the US, and since he can’t get onto any track in CA to train, essentially he is done for the 90 days.
Why NY decided to make this announcement is beyond me!

I hope Baffert takes a nice vacation and relaxes to clear his mind and spend time with his family. He should also consider making sure when he returns he has the right people working for him to make sure there are no issues when he returns. For me, the Derby will not be the same without him. I know trainers who run against him are silently thrilled he won't be running his horses. I really think the punishment against him does not fit the crime.

Because that’s how they do things in New York.

I am sure depending on what happens in July, or early next year this suit will be restarted.
