Second test samples from two horses, both trained by Bob Baffert, confirmed the presence of lidocaine, an anesthetic banned in horse racing.
LAFC forward Carlos Vela, who set an MLS single-season record for goals in 2019, will not play in the league’s season tournament in Orlando.It would have no effect on a horse’s ability to race. Charlatan has since suffered an injury and will not run in the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5. Gamine is expected to run in the Kentucky Oaks on Sept. 4.
According to the statement, an unnamed employee who had broken his pelvis and had back pain was wearing a patch on his back that contained lidocaine. Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s longtime assistant who saddled the horses in Arkansas, broke his pelvis in 2017. “It is believed that lidocaine from that patch was innocently transferred from the employee’s hands to the horses through the application of tongue ties by the employee [who] was handling both horses leading up to May 2,” the statement said.It also said that the amounts on Charlatan and Gamine would not have acted as a performance enhancer. A picogram is a trillionth of a gram.
According to the “trainer’s insurer rule,” a trainer is responsible for the condition of their horses, regardless of any participation in their care.
