I used to work in the industry. I worked for a major breeding farm and sales agency close to Lexington for four years back in the day. Since I moved back to Canada and switched to Arabian show horses, I've gradually lost touch with the thoroughbred world. I still try to watch the big races if I can but I really couldn't tell you who the big players are nowadays. I do remember Baffert being a big deal and I was a fan of his until a few years ago when I came to realize just how much he drugs his horses. I find this latest news about him to be disappointing. I don't think people like him should be training race horses at all.
