A federal judge Wednesday nullified the suspension of horse trainer Bob Baffert in the state, ruling the New York Racing Association acted unconstitutionally by not letting him adequately respond to the claims against him after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test.

The NYRA, which has said it suspended Baffert to protect the integrity of the sport, said it’s determining its next steps.
