Racehorse trainer Bob Baffert is threatening to sue Churchill Downs, the racetrack that’s home to the Kentucky Derby, if they don’t lift the two-year suspension he was given last year, the ‘New York Times’ reported.

Baffert was suspended after the horse he trained, Medina Spirit, failed a drug test after winning the Kentucky Derby.

Churchill Downs responded to the ‘Times’ story, saying, “No one is above the rules, including Mr. Baffert, and we remain intent on holding him accountable for his actions.”
