Medina Spirit Preakness Stakes 2021 Odds
With the 2021 Kentucky Derby still impressing the racing world with unexpected results the horse racing world shifts its focus to the 2021 Preakness where Medina Spirit sets his sights on the Triple Crown
This Florida raised 3 year old colt surprised just about everyone at Churchill Downs in the Kentucky Derby Breaking all the predictions that gave him 12 1 odds of winning
Medina Spirit Doping Controversy
All eyes are on Medina Spirit in the 2021 Preakness Stakes but not in the way we thought it would be after his impressive Kentucky Derby victory The colt tested positive for a drug test that was announced on Sunday putting the search for the Triple Crown in serious jeopardy
As of Sunday night the colt had not yet been stripped of the Kentucky Derby crown but his trainer was drastically sanctioned with a ban on entering any horse in races at Churchill Downs
This positive test significantly changed the plans regarding the race at the Pimlico racecourse and also forced the draw for the position of the horses to be moved from Monday to Tuesday so that there was enough time to make a fair decision
If there is any disqualification from Medina Spirit Kentucky Derby runner up Mandaloun would be the new champion and despite this this colt is not scheduled to run at the Preakness
But if there is no disqualification or they simply let the horse compete in this race Medina Spirit would undoubtedly be one of the main candidates to win
Bob Baffert Responds to Doping Controversy
Things got a little bit weird when Bob Baffert Medina Spirits Trainer took to mainstream media to address the Kentuck Racing Commission and Churchill Downs doping accusations
In response to Bafferts baffling Cancel Culture comments the internet did its thing and the Memes started being posted faster than American Pharoh coming out of the gates
We double checked our sources on this one and yes The Donald really did call Medina Spirit a junkie
The only innocent one in this is Medina Spirit
What Happens if Medina Spirit is Disqualified from the Preakness
A second positive test called a split sample has to be administered before a horse can be disqualified
If that second test does come back positive second place Derby finisher Mandaloun would be declared the race winner
Mandaloun isnt running in the Preakness so that outcome would mean there will be no Triple Crown champion in 2021
Another of the horses that can give Medina Spirit the fight is Concert Tour which has three victories and was third in the last Arkansas Derby in April
Lets have a look at the horses that may participate in the 2021 edition of the Preakness Stakes
