There is no reason the split sample results should not be available this week. I know they ordinarily take longer, but this is not an ordinary case. Money should be no object, and Baffert should be in a rush to be cleared.

The KHRC should also announce whether there were other betamethasone positives over Derby weekend. If there was a problem with test barn personnel or the testing, then it should not be isolated to one horse. If there was a problem with personnel in Baffert's barn, then one of his other horses should also have an issue.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
