(FOX) – Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert was suspended by Churchill Downs after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test, and if the results are upheld, there’s a good chance that it will invalidate the victory.

Medina Spirit is Baffert’s fifth horse to fail a drug test in a year.
