Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit has passed three drug tests and is cleared to race in Saturday's Preakness Stakes in Baltimore.
Concert Tour, the other Bob Baffert-trained horse in the 10-horse field, also passed three rounds of pre-race testing. Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test after the Kentucky Derby, testing positive for betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory, at more than double the legal limit in Kentucky.
At 9-5 odds, Medina Spirit is the morning-line favorite for Saturday's race. Concert Tour is the second favorite at 5-2. Baffert-trained horses have won the Preakness seven times, most recently in 2018.
