Amazingly, Baffert continues to dig the hole deeper. I have said this before. This Baffert saga will be a college Communications course in PR Strategy -- What Not To Do.

He meets the press arrogantly after the first positive -- a disaster. He sends his attorney to meet with CNN after the second positive -- a disaster. Now he demands the split sample to be further analyzed in an attempt to conclude the twice tested positive on a race day banned substance was from a topical treatment and not an injection -- as if that matters and it doesn't.

For the good of the sport Baffert should just go away. Narcissists can't just go away. I love the sport as an owner and fan and bettor. His behavior disgusts me.
