Baffert's suspension goes into effect Monday. He will have to vacate his barn at Santa Anita Park before then.
In a statement released shortly after the 3-year-old colt's death, track officials said, "Following the completion of a routine morning workout, Medina Spirit collapsed on the track at Santa Anita Park and died suddenly of a probable cardiac event according to the on-site veterinary team who attended to him."
A necropsy performed on Medina Spirit in December failed to determine a definitive cause of death, according to the CHRB. The animal-advocacy organization PETA had called for a thorough investigation of Medina Spirit's death, and urged action against Baffert, saying seven horses he was training have died in a 16-month period.
In a statement released after the necropsy report was released, PETA's senior vice president, Kathy Guillermo, said, "How many Bob Baffert- trained horses will drop dead with no known cause before he is booted out of racing? We urge the California Horse Racing Board to retain blood and urine samples from the horses, as new tests to detect as-yet unknown doping agents are likely to be developed.
