I seem to recall that the funny part of this was Bob Baffert's pretty lame excuse. He said that the violation was due to a mixup caused by confusion over the difference in the allowable limits between racing jurisdictions (CA and Louisiana).

What he failed to mention (or understand or both) was that the limit was HIGHER in Louisiana (where Kafwain tested positive) than it was in CA (his home base where Kafwain had been running prior to the positive test) and that Kafwain was over both limits regardless (as Dick Powell pionts out). So it was pretty hard to see how such confusion could have had anything to do with the positive test but maybe I am just too cynical when it comes to drugs in racing...
