bob baffert does it again! medina spirit has won the kentucky derby >> you heard him mention bob baffert, the hall of fame trainer, announced this weekend that the racehorse tested positive for elevated levels of betamethasone, a legal anti-inflammatory that sometimes is injected into horses to reduce pain and swelling in other words, so they can run through the pain medina spirit's first test detected more than double the allowed limit in the state of kentucky, but baffert insists the horse was never treated with it and the drug was found at the contaminant level claiming he would have no idea that it had no effect on his horse now a second test being analyzed churchill downs, which hosts the derby, has banned baffert from entering horses in any events there, saying in a statement failure to comply with the rules and medication protocols jeopardizes the safety of horses, jockeys and the integrity of our sport and the reputation of the kentucky derby. the derby win was baffert's seventh, the most of any trainer

you know, there's problems in racing but it's not bob baffert. at stake is both the derby title and winnings. the race course has banned bob baffert from entering any more horses while the kentucky horse racing commission investigates. if a second sample confirms the infringement, the runner—up, mandaloun, will be declared the winner instead, barring an appeal, which could reportedly take years. medina spirit would then become only the third winner stripped of the title in the derby's 147—race history. this high—profile dispute also proving another hurdle for america's horse racing organisers, jockeying to get on the front foot over a drugs problem still saddling the sport. mark lobel, bbc news. earlier i spoke to kaitlin free, a horse racing analyst, from cincinnati in ohio. she told me why the us has such a big issue with doping in horse racing. the problem with horseracing over in the united states is there's no central governing body to really regulate this. it;s kind of up to the tracks and up the state jurisdictions to dole out punish

bob baffert says even if the second test comes back positive, he would appeal the results. so we don't expect this to end any time soon. we can only wait for the results of the split sample. kendis >> the controversy continues gaud, thank you. >>> the biden administration is focused on giving a shot of confidence to the vaccine hesitant as demand continues to dwindle. nbc's susan mcginnis joins us right now with the very latest from d.c it could be an uphill battle to president biden's summer vaccination goal. >> good morning. the president wants 70% of americans to at least get one shot by the fourth of july hoping that holiday will mark a turning point for the pandemic there are signs of normal life reemerging we had some emotional mother's day reunions, some graduations taking place in person now and crowded ball games all happening. but despite more creative options for getting vaccinated, walk-in places where you don't need an appointment and ballparks where you don't need a shot if you have a ticket to a baseball game, command for vaccines is falling, and it has with

bob baffert plans on racing medina spirit at the preakness stakes. if he's denied entry and his lawyer says that they are ready to go with a temporary restraining order. as you know, medina spirit tested positive for an anti-inflammatory steroid. according to churchill downs, there will be a second test what is called a split sample. baffert has been suspended from entering any horse at that particular track. now baffert announced on america's newsroom that he's doing dna testing to see if this was a false positive or if the horse was somehow contaminated another way. >> he went from the derby after the derby, everybody is up there touching him. so many ways these horses can get contaminated. when they're testing at these really ridiculously low levels. >> now, if medina spirit is disqualified, the horse will be stripped of its derby title and that $1.86 million purse. no decision yet coming from the preakness stakes. they say they're reviewing the facts and by the way, charles, they have delayed what is it called? the draw. basically where the horse

but bob baffert, seven-time kentucky derby winner, hall of fame trainer, he denies all wrongdoing in this. i spoke with him earlier this afternoon. he was really upset. he said i'm going to continue to turn over every stone that i can here because i feel for the horse. i know that it wouldn't be justice if he wasn't a derby winner. he was also visibly shaken when speaking with reporters this afternoon. >> my veterinarian, nobody here, medina spirit has never been treated with betamethasone. so, i cannot believe that i'm here before you guys. i never thought i'd be here. yesterday i got the biggest gut punch in racing for something that i didn't do. >> and, jim, just for some context, the drug here is a regulated drug. it's an anti-inflammatory, and it's usually injected into a horse at the joint or maybe underneath the skin to deal with inflammation. it's available as a topical product as well. so there are multiple pathways here to transmission. but it's not a traditional performance-enhancing drug. it could be considered something like a performance modifying drug. it would be to m

churchill downs has also suspended bob baffert from training or running any horses on their property until the situation is resolved. a result that he told me was incredibly disappointing as he has a lot of respect for the kentucky derby, as he put it, and would never do anything to jeopardize a result there. in the meantime organizers of the preakness stakes are gathering their own information as the second leg of the triple crown is right around the corner, scheduled for next saturday. they will ultimately determine whether or not medina spirit will be allowed to run there. carolyn manno, cnn, new york. >>> and finally this hour, the whale is free. we've been following a small minke whale that was stranded in the river thames in london. early on monday good news, after being stuck for almost four hours the whale is now back in the main river thanks to rescuers who actually carried it there using inflatable stretchers. the whale was first spotted on sunday and it's believed to be about three meters, or about ten feet long. one onlooker said it was exciting to watch the rescue but al

here, you have bob baffert, who is one of the premier trainers in the sport. he had received his seventh victory, a new record, but he has been plagued by allegations of doping in the past. so churchill downs, the track, has responded by saying they'll have a zero tolerance policy, that this harms the sport, it harms the jockeys, and so what they've said is that they are suspending mr baffert from entering horses into the race, and they're going to see in a second test whether medina spirit does indeed have that unallowable limit of the steroid they found in that first test. they found double the amount of the allowable limit in their rules, and that's a steroid that's used as an anti—inflammatory to treat joints for pain and swelling. and they say that if there is a second test that shows the drug, that they will disqualify medina spirit's win. so not only the title but also the winning purse — $1.86 million for first place there in that — so certainly a big damper on the sport at the moment, this news. you know, it's really interesting because this is

yesterday afternoon it came out that bob baffert the trainer from edina spirit who won the kentucky derby it was bad for its 7th here you see what happened about a week ago now it was baffert 7 kentucky derby crown a for a record but it would need to medina spirit crossing the wire their 1st took took in the derby and then yesterday came out that he tested the horse tested positive for a substance called bait a method which is an inflammatory and used to treat pain and you're only allowed 10 people grams but not within a. a 14 day window and this horse tested positive for 21 pico grams of beta method zone so it can't be done within the system at all within its 14 day window prior to the race however now bob baffert is denying any wrongdoing and he came out saying quote yesterday i got the biggest gut punch in racing for something that i did not do and this is really it's disturbing it's an injustice to the horse i feel like you know here you want to race and you're still not to me i don't know what's going on in racing right now but there's something not right and i don't feel embarrassed

it's one of bob baffert's horses, and this time is no different as medina spirit a 12 to 1 underdog written by john velazquez takes it by a half a length over manda loons with hot rod charlie coming in third and for trainer bob baffert is his record seventh kentucky derby win with the horse purchase as a year, lene for just one $1000, a orioles in oakland and hastens with sarto. he didn't make it out of the third inning, but he probably deserved better. no score in the third one. austin hey, singles to left with the bases loaded. one run is in matt chapman cuts off the throw home but throws it hi to third and that allows two more runs to come in. so the bases were cleared chapman's first air and 22 games three. nothing orioles next batter tray man. seanie shatters his that on the blooper elvis andrus can't make over the shoulder catch that allows hayes to score from third. it's ruled a hit for nothing. luzardo six runs allowed only three of them earned and then in the eighth, aaron ms garcia, the high foul ball dj stuart's given chase makes the great catch at the edge of the oriolesbullpen.

>> bob baffert said on fox news he had preakness with medina spirit. will she get to run this weekend if baltimore? that's in the air. if he does, bob baffert is undefeated with a kentucky derby winner in the preakness going for that second leg of the triple crown. after the news of the failed drug test, the preakness stakes putting out a statement that read in part we're consulting with the maryland racing commission and any decision regarding the entry of medina spirit in 146th preakness stakes will be made after review of the facts. they pushed back a post position draw until tomorrow. baffert says he doesn't know how medina spirit could have a raised level of an anti-inflammatory drug. because he nor anyone in his barn never administered this drug to the horse at all. baffert is adamant that he did not cheat to win the kentucky derby. he denied any wrongdoing. and he said they're going to investigate how this happened. >> i have the biggest record in racing for something that i didn't do. and this is really -- it's disturbing. much it's an injustic

here, you have bob baffert, who is one of the premier trainers in the sport. he had received his seventh victory, a new record, but he has been plagued by allegations of doping in the past. so churchill downs, the track, has responded by saying they'll have a zero tolerance policy, that this harms the sport, it harms the jockeys, and so what they've said is that they are suspending mr baffert from entering horses into the race, and they're going to see in a second test whether medina spirit does indeed have that unallowable limit of the steroid they found in that first test. they found double the amount of the allowable limit in their rules, and that's a steroid that's used as an anti—inflammatory to treat joints for pain and swelling. and they say that if there is a second test that shows the drug, that they will disqualify medina spirit's win. so not only the title, but also the purse. $1.68 million forfirst $1.68 million for first place $1.68 million forfirst place in that. certainly a big damper on the sport with this news. that's nada tawfik there. a wh

and bob baffert now has won three of the last four kentucky derbies. he said he's just lucky to have so many great horses that he trains. and it was also a great weekend for jockey john velazquez. he has now won his fourth kentucky derby. he also won the kentucky oaks yesterday. so, he's having a great weekend, but pam, you know, baffert, he's already won two triple crowns with american pharoah in 2015 and justify in 2018. we'll see if he gets another shot at it with medina spirit at the preakness in two weeks. >> we'll see. there are so many tines, i just love it watching you and hearing you talk, of just the return to normalcy there and even celebrities were there, tom brady might be there today, he usually likes to go the derby. celebrities are coming back and it's just nice after last year, the derby was rescheduled then the year before that, you'll recall that the horse, the winner was disqualified, so, it's just nice that it was a seemingly standard day. so, what was the experience like being at this largest sporting event since the pandemic bega

bob baffert saying that the sample was somehow contaminated. that is something that can be worked out, right, in the appeal process and as they test the other half of the sample so we may learn more about that there. but again, explain how big of a deal bob baffert is in horse racing and why there's a little bit of a cloud over him the last few years. >> sure. well, mr. baffert is the michael jordan of horse trainers. he's the most recognizable face in the sport. he's won seven kentucky derbies, seven preakness stakes and really since the early 1990s he's been on an incredible run. but there's been -- he's been sort of dogged by more than two dozen positive tests over the years, especially in recent years. it's become sort of louder. every time there's a positive test, you know, critics say that it's basically a slap on the wrist for him. and horse racing has traditionally had this patchwork regulatory system where it's regulated by the 38 states in which horse gambling is legal. and so, for example, his triple crown winning horse justified tes

but how about bob baffert? what would happen if this is found to be upheld. >> our understanding is if this is confirmed and the horse is stripped of -- if medina spirit is stripped it will also be stripped of the winning prize. we're waiting to confirm what would happen with people that actually bet money on the horse. this is a story that's been developing and we're waiting to hear from legal experts as to what would happen with people that bet on that result. but the money for the winning prize and the title would be stripped, if this would be confirmed. >> you can see folks who maybe picked mandaloon and came in second and all of a sudden, that's declared the winner and they are going to want to money. guad, thanks. please come back when this is all figured out. >>> lower than expected april jobs report has many wondering if there's a labor shortage in the u.s. my next guest says that is not the case. those numbers indicate a great reassessment of work in america. joining me to discuss further, heather long
