LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Crowds gathered, to pay their respects to a champion thoroughbred at Old Friends Farm in Georgetown.
“People came from all over the place,” said Michael Blowen, president and founder of Old Friends Farm. “They came from hundreds of miles people came to pay tribute to this horse on a rainy ugly day.”
Medina Spirit won’t be remembered as the horse who won Kentucky Derby 147, but the one that was disqualified after failing a race day drug test. Trainer Bob Baffert was subsequently suspended by the horse racing commission.
