Judge hears Bob Baffert s case in New York, says state s racing association attacked his credibility
NEW YORK A New York judge was sympathetic Monday to horse trainer Bob Baffert s claims that his May suspension by the New York Racing Association after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a postrace drug test was unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Carol Bagley Amon at a Brooklyn hearing repeatedly pressed a lawyer for the racing association to explain why the suspension was issued before Baffert was given a chance to defend himself.
Henry Greenberg, arguing on behalf of the racing association, said Baffert will get a hearing after the association announces the length of his suspension by Aug. 11.
