"A 23-page analysis of that case, sent to the CHRB by a California deputy attorney general in July and obtained by The Post, suggests the state’s lawyers were concerned about the way the agency responded to the failed drug test. A court, the state’s lawyer wrote, 'could find that the CHRB abused its discretion and acted in a manner that was arbitrary, capricious, or entirely lacking in evidentiary support.'"

Something in there for everyone, but it sure feels like a distinction without a difference when Rick Arthur ("California’s medical equine director, who the documents show played a central role in the scuttling of the Justify matter") says, "'The way this case was handled was not a favor for Bob Baffert, the way this case was handled was out of respect for Justify.'"
