Bob Baffert's career as a racehorse trainer may be hanging by a hair. And Monday Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas D. Wingate split that hair.
Wingate ruled that Baffert's suspension is not entitled to a stay of the 90-day suspension imposed by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission over Medina Spirit's Kentucky Derby drug positive.
But, because of "the gravity" of the situation, Wingate allowed a brief delay: Instead of the suspension starting immediately, Baffert's suspension will not begin until April 4.
