The story of Bob Baffert is not a tale of a singular sinner, but instead a parable for a sport struggling to explain its welfare and medication practices to an American public that increasingly disapproves of it.

His three-year suspension from Churchill Downs is over, but the 72-year-old remains unapologetic about his actions. Here’s a short list of his long record of transgressions.

With this development, Baffert is left with "Citizen Bull" as his only hope to give him a Kentucky Derby victory in 2025. Baffert is tied for the most Derby wins ever by a trainer with Ben Jones, who also had six victories in the first leg of the Triple Crown between 1938 and 1952.
