NYSOS is the unbeaten monster who can't run in the Kentucky Derby! 

makes you wonder how much stock is in the KD/Triple Crown now? It seems like the mindset of these owners are to cash in on the big money races now. Maybe the new triple crown is the Breeders Cup Classic, Saudi Cup and the Dubai World Cup? 38 million reasons why.......

Well just consider what state the race is run in!

Agreed but if he can’t compete in the Triple Crown this year then he will definitely go on to win the 2024 Breeders Cup Classic💞

@@rosewetzel8284 I mean that’s the way to go. Preakness, Haskell and Travers for 3 year old campaign? Then run in the Awesome Again at SA against olders for first time and then go for Classic, Saudi Cup and Dubai.

He trains under the biggest cheater in the game so the owners are to blame

The best horses don’t need drugs, they should give the cheat a lifetime ban

@@FrankCarolei-lv6rb it’s been said that the horse that was dq’d had the drug applied topically to help with a rash and it in no way could improve his running ability . If true then the ban should be lifted with Baffert knowing his horses will be automatically tested if they contest a race at CD.

Also, I feel until the ban is lifted CD should not be allowed to host the Breeder’s Cup.

Most people who watch the Kentucky Derby couldn't care less or wouldn't know the difference if 20 mules ran in the race.

@@FrankCarolei-lv6rb Tell that to other trainers who have had suspicions of drugging levelled at them. The horse that began all this was Medina Spirit and he had an ointment put on a rash that caused the reading. Why didn't Dutrow get a lifetime ban? He's back with White Abarrio. Maybe it was lack of "roids" that made Abarrio fade in his race this past weekend. Many other trainers have been accused of the same thing. Ban them all! No trainers, no horse racing.

From the Louisville Courier Journal... Jason Frakes, Jan 31, 2024 [excerpt] In 2022 and 2023, Baffert horses were transferred to other trainers in an attempt to get them eligible for the Kentucky Derby. Three of them - all trained by Tim Yakteen - ended up in the Run for the Roses, Taiba and Messier in 2022 and Reincarnate in 2023. Baffert announced last week he was giving up his 2 1/2-year legal battle regarding the Medina Spirit disqualification. Medina Spirit was owned by Amr Zedan. “Zedan Racing owner, Amr Zedan, and I have decided that it is best to positively focus on the present and future that our great sport offers,” Baffert wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We thank the (Kentucky Horse Racing Commission) and Churchill Downs for listening and considering our point of view and we are grateful for the changes and clarity that (the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority) brings to our sport.” The decision not to transfer horses to other trainers this year was seen as a sign of support for Baffert by the owners who employ him. ..."

I'm just not seeing it. Soft fractions, impressive, sure. West coast horses are soft and I'd rather bet on the the Holy Bull top 3.

@montgomeryutzman856 Hades ran an 85 beyer yesterday, no one in that race even wanted to run

Rhyme Schemes is probably the best 3 year old right now.

Seems owners are standing with Bob?

@@peppywood01- I read an article that says Baffert has sidelined Nysos for 30 days. He was supposed to run him in the San Anita Derby in 2 weeks from now (Apr 6th). But now it looks like his next start will be in the Preakness, with maybe a prep race before then.

@@tomc8617 oh ok! Thanks for the info!

@@peppywood01- Baffert takes undefeated Nysos out of training for 30 days HRN staff - March 12, 2024 [HorseRacingNation] Nysos, who is undefeated and widely regarded as the top 3-year-old Thoroughbred in the country, has been sidelined with no plans for when and where he may race next. “Will be out of training,” trainer Bob Baffert said in a text message Tuesday, confirming what was reported first by Thoroughbred Daily News. “Tack walking for 30 days. No plans.” Asked specifically whether anything was physically wrong with the Nyquist colt, Baffert said, “Fine.” He told TDN that the setback was “minor.” Nysos was scratched the day before he was supposed to start March 3 at Santa Anita in the Grade 2 San Felipe, a race in which he would have been the odds-on favorite. At the time, Baffert said, “Going to wait for the Santa Anita Derby. I changed my mind. All good.” The 30-day downshift means the Santa Anita Derby (G1) on April 6 is out for Nysos, who has not had a timed workout since Feb. 25. Owned by Baoma Corp, Nysos has not raced since Feb. 3, when he won the Robert B. Lewis (G3) and earned a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 105, according to Daily Racing Form. He began his career with a maiden win Oct. 21 at Santa Anita and followed that with a victory Nov. 19 in the Bob Hope (G3) at Del Mar. Nysos has won his three races by an average of 8 3/4 lengths. Since Baffert and, therefore, Nysos are ineligible to compete in Kentucky Derby 2024, the Preakness on May 18 has been seen as his main spring target. Nysos closed as the 5-2 betting favorite in the first Preakness Future Wager conducted between Feb. 29 and March 2 by 1/ST Racing. www.horseracingnation.com/news/Baffert_takes_undefeated_Nysos_out_of_training_for_30_days_123

Was Secretariat drugged too?

@@johnhoie1 Maybe you are

Not crazy at all. They have that same type of midpack closing type style with a wicked turn of foot. Nysos had multiple line breedings to Secretariat actually, thru Storm Cat and Bernardini. Most of your Baffert stars are frontrunners. This guy can do it from back, and the middle or up front too. He has an amazing brain as well, super calm horse, a true push button freak.

Actually, Secretariat was drugged. This horse? No. Secretariat's vet admitted he was given steroids, which were actually legal at certain times just as Big Brown was receiving Stanolozol right that before the Derby legally. That is why Secretariat and Sham had such enlarged hearts, from all the anabolics steroids they were given. Secretariat was still a great horse but all horses back then were on steroids. You can't do that now a days tho, and if you're Baffert simple rash cream is treated like steroids as the east coast run media is so jealous of his winning. Believe it or not, Baffert doesn't "drug horses". There have been many investigations into him, wire taps, moles hired to enter his barn, and not one horse has ever been proven to be "drugged". Baffert is just an amazing life long horseman, blood stock agent and trainer.

@@mikerelva6915 What do you mean “no one horse has ever been proven to be drugged?” Medina Spirit was disqualified from his Derby win for a failed drug test. Justify should never have run in the Kentucky Derby since his qualifying win in the Santa Anita Derby was on drugs, per the post-race test. The results were not made public until after the Triple Crown. Interestingly, a number of people on the Santa Anita board that delayed the report had horses in training with Baffert. His horses have failed dozens of drug tests over the years, and roughly two dozen have dropped dead while under his care. There was a 60 Minutes episode about drugs in horse racing within the last year. Supposedly there is or soon will be a new federal agency tasked with removing drugs from racing. The industry leader being interviewed clearly viewed Baffert as a problem actor, though he’s not the only one.

@wayneharrison3828 I hope you remember what you just said to me at the end of the year when he is getting horse of the year ..obviously you don't know much about racing and you don't know how to spot talented horses early in their career..you maybe lose a lot at the track

a Authentic was better than Flightline

@renenadeau1410 you can't be serious you maybe new to racing

⁠@@renenadeau1410 get a grip. Flightline beats Authentic by 5+ lengths with 2 jockeys on his back. That horse was a freak.

It's about time another trainer had a Triple Crown

Other trainers aren't good enough to win the triple crown 💀 Only Baffert knows how to train for a crown.

Baffert is a life long cheater. All the tracks should ban him.

​@@mikerelva6915yeah by cheating

If it’s a Baffert horse it’s probably drugged!

Fierceness got destroyed the other day. Maymun is better than Nysos too. Baffert has the three best colts in America and CDI lied, did not keep their word and extended the goal post on the two year ban. They are robbing horse racing of a potential triple crown winner.

@@mikerelva6915 Fierceness is erratic but I suspect he doesn’t like traveling off the rails. Being 3 wide traveling tough is not his thing.

Why should they.the derby is only one race

It's the first leg of the elusive Triple Crown. It makes sense to move if you want a shot at history. ​@@user-og1oh2pw4f

Should have transferred to another trainer before the 29. January 2024 deadline like all Baffert horses.

@@Brilliantnashowners made the right move

LOL! Yes, I guess this would be his Preakness prep since we know he only has about 2 or 3 more races left him in. A 3 month rest will be exactly what he needs to go a mile and three sixteenths....then, another long rest until the Breeder's Cup....then on to glory and the hall of fame....he's just so great. Did you see him pass those exhausted sprinters....WOW!!!! What a race horse. Let's bronze him now. Why wait until the Preakness?

Am looking forward to this years Preakness Stakes

Once the again best horse won’t be in the Derby (and easily win the Derby) Forte handled Mage easily last year in Florida. The only blessing is I was able to cash in on Mage since he put such a good effort against Forte, but this whole Bob Baffert thing is getting ridiculous. Total jelaousy. Not every trainer knows what they are doing training a horse, in fact 75% of them just want to be at the track morning and only want day rate from their Naive owners. The top trainers are way more meticulous than people think, and that’s because most horsemen on the backstretch never see it, so they assume the worst. The cream always rises to the top, and always will

@@jlove8445 Yeah, they really hate Bafftert in Kentucky, don't they? I think it has left him open to some shady goings on with his horses by others. Pretty easy to slip something into the feed, or stick in a needle when no one is around.

​@jlove8445 American Pharoah, TC winner.no Good babies ... justify TC winner no good babies ... what does that tells you about this sires

Why tho? The horses that have transferred have not done well. Switching a barn is super hard on a horse. Plus, CDI said two years and lied. This is all CDI fault. Can't blame the owners for doing what is best by the horse and staying loyal.

​@mikerelva6915 yeah you don't get the same drugs when you change barns

Even if this horse ran in the Kentucky Derby....he's not winning. Secretariat ran the Gotham 3 minutes faster against a field of real race horses. I felt the need to put things into perspective.

@@NalaRichenbach Many top horsemen have stated he has all the makings of an all time great.....I guess time will tell. he certainly could be anything

@@NalaRichenbach Are you aware of the time it takes to run a race? "3 minutes faster" does not put anything into perspective.

Deadline was 1/29 so the only way he runs is if CDI keeps their word to the two year ban. It's insane they extended the goal post like this

OH YES, really big race against cheap sprinters. My Italian Greyhound could have run the race faster.

I am not.....too slow. gearing down at the wire so the horse doesn't break it's legs does not impress me.

@@NalaRichenbachlmao gearing down because you’re gonna win ur third race by more then 6 lengths isn’t meant to impress you but apparently you have better eyes then baffert

@@NalaRichenbach No concern for the colt's safety? Why run him hard when he has the race won? Sure glad you aren't a trainer, you would kill a horse!

@@garettgehring8681 Gearing ahorse down at the wire only tells me that the horse has issues. I remember when horses ran through the finish line and galloped out like real race horses. Secretariat never geared down near the wire in any of his races...even as a 2 year old. Big Red was always running past the finish. Today's great horses come to practically a stop at the finish line. That's ridiculous. And, that's not a race horse....it's a chemically induced animal running on fragile legs.....so fragile that the animal cannot run past the finish line....he has to be pulled up to save everything he has for next time. That does not sound like a great race horse.

@@nannie2846 Run him hard? This horse will never run a hard race. Pulling a horse up at the finish is indicative of an issue and the overall weakness of the animal to extend itself. If I was a trainer, I wouldn't want to train a horse that has to be pulled up at the finish line for fear of breaking down. The animal is not strong enough to be on the track.

Cant. Deadline passed. On to the Preakness unless CDI.atops lying and keeps to the promised two year ban.

And onion would laugh at secretetiat

That "claiming race time" earned Nysos a 105 Beyer. You don't know what you're talking about comparing times at 2 different tracks 50 years apart. What an absurd comment.

@@jaybernstein5354 I have seen that same post cut and paste about 3 or 4 times now. lol Nala is a bot. Don't feed him.

@@nannie2846 Nannie is a BOT. Nannie is stalking me because she doesn't like my comments.

Kind of being hypocritical at Churchill downs when they will let his horses race if they get transferred from him before race day, then back to him afterwards! Churchill is a joke anymore.

@@nannie2846 I disagree that it is hypocritical, as the idea is to punish the trainer, not the innocent horse(s). You may think Churchill is a joke, but the KY Derby is still king. And lets not forget that the NYRA tried to suspend him too.

@@uncleblakey0777 so if as you say Baffert is juicing the horses, he can juice them right up until he transfers them, then if it's a substance that eliminates from the body quickly, no one is the wiser. LoL, yeah that works.

Only in Kentucky. Home of MM.

@@nannie2846 I never said Baffert is juicing up the horses, just that Churchill Downs isn't the only entity that believes he is. And yes, Baffert can juice up the transferred horses, but the liability then falls upon the alternative trainer (Tim Yakateen) and I he may have something to say about that and can scratch out at will.

My concern is they may ban Baffert til 2026 , I don't rely on Baffert for a Triple Crown horse , Pletcher has plenty , I prefer him as a trainer and his personality .

@2009jadeorchid I agree with you!! I believe that's what The CEO is planning on doing to him AGAIN this year to go into effect next year and in 2026!! You are absolutely right!! Tood Pletcher is a great trainer!! We will see if this van extends for 2025!!

The owners didn't want to. it wasn't up to Baffert.

@jaybernstein5354 He is the trainer, he plays a part in it!! Whether you like it or not?? He should have moved those horses!! Now trainers like Todd Pletcher, Brad Cox, Kenny Mcpeek, Steve Assmussen, and others will have a chance to win this year's Kentucky Derby, Baffert's horses can win, but they will not qualify!! That's his own doing!!

Funny, didn't Dutrow just come off a 10 year suspension? Maybe some of Baffert's trainers got some of his potions.

lol Nysos can’t run in Kentucky Derby, sorry dude.

I know.

@@Muskratlovewhy?

@@johnnyboy6608Churchill want the owners to take the horses off Baffert, the owners refused, they said the hell with the derby.

Its his own fault

Listengirl it’s a heavy favourite that your room temperature iq won’t be required here

A 105 Beyer is exceptional for a 3 year old in early February, especially a May foal.

The Kentucky Derby is America's greatest race. Are you butt hurt over Baffert not being able to dope his horses anymore at Churchill? The trophy they are giving away this year is awesome...it has diamonds and rubies....it's one of a kind and Baffert won't be getting it. The trophy is worth a fortune. Nysos is nothing more than a cheap allowance horse who races cheap sprinters.

@@NalaRichenbach when Nysos wins 3 or 4 group 1s come back to this silly comment

@@3meeds275 He's already been scratched from his most recent start. Baffert probably couldn't clean him out in time.

@@NalaRichenbach you’re tripping 🤣🤣 he just wanted one of his stablemates to win because Nysos will clean up that division

@@3meeds275 I have never tripped in my life....not into the drug scene. However, baffert knows more about that than I do. You should ask him what cycle he has Nysos on. The kind where he needs at least a month or two to clean the horse out.

No way there is ever a sure triple crown because it is supposed to be impossible to do....leave it that way. No way this horse would win the all three races without the baffert juice and Churchill downs is not putting up with that anymore. THANK GOD!!!!!!!

@@NalaRichenbach And yet there are 13 horses who have won that "impossible" triple crown. 11 before Baffert. lololol! Baffert hasn't been training that long! He wasn't even born when the first triple crown was won. What an idiot you are!! By banning Baffert they are trying to ensure that no one beats Ben Jones for the most Derby wins.

Owners fault. Bob Baffert a cheat, been caught multiple times.

what happened?

@@collo.174Nysos can’t run in Kentucky Derby, Churchill extended Baffert’s suspension until the end of 2024.

Nice horse

Churchill: we are banning you over rash cream for two years, even tho we covered up a Brad Cox fail (his wife Livia Frazar works.in the CDI lab btw 💀). If you don't fail a test in two years you can run. CDI after two years is up and Baffert doesn't fail any test: Just kidding! We are banning you.another year and a half.....and maybe forever. 🤡

Maybe Sierra Leone, but that Dornoch performance was underwhelming today to say the least..and that’s coming from someone that has him to win the derby at a big number.

his trainer bob baffert is suspended from entering horses at Churchill downs,

Haters will not win

You are comparing why they got suspended as if they are the same

Why would he? 💀 It's was NON PERFORMANCE ENHANCING RASH CREAM. Are you even familiar with one single Baffert overage? EVERY trainer has had overages and contamination. It's literally impossible to prevent especially with modern sensitive testing The problem is people like you don't know about the details so you hear that a horse had a false positive for rash cream and you go on thinking that the guy was injecting hardcore anabolic steroids. Not one of Baffert's overages even registers under the new hisa thresholds. Ponder that. The guy is innocent, never did anything wrong and always followed the rules, but people like you are just brainwashed by his jealous enemies or have some bone to pick. What a shame.

Owners decision and their is nothing you are the others can do about it.just put your focus on other horses.

Stop your damn hate on the man,your mentality is tarnish with hate

You are just covetous and filled with hate

Churchill being petty

Oh course, he doesn't care about racing or the other people in it, its all about him and all about them, nothing but pathetic. Ruins it for everyone else all because he can't stop drugging and killing horses, but somehow YOU are the problem for pointing that out...just because he wins....he wins because THEY ARE CHEATING! None of these chumps understand the mathematical IMPOSSIBILITY of having the winning record Bob has......unless of course they are drugging the horses, which we know for a FACT he DOES and HAS DONE. So all these, "Bob did his time" and "Bob is not that bad" people are just living in delusion. Meanwhile all those trainers who get destroyed by Bob who are not cheating, they can go FREAK themselves right? No one cares about them.....they can just sit down and take it up the behind from these selfish owners and trainers. The owners who keep letting him kill horses are part of the problem. What do they care? They just write it off in their taxes when they kill one. Nothing off their backs.....and they don't have souls, you can't with how many horses you are drugging and killing.....

Hollendofer is the very worst , quite seriously I would send the psycho to prison . I agree he is indeed petty and selfish , always wanting the attention .
