      The poor boy didn't even enter his 4th year which I believe wholeheartedly would've been a successful season. He seemed to be maturing nicely and improving on the track.
      I wasn't a hardcore fan of him (and certainly not Baffert) but this particular death has really bothered me for some reason... Maybe it's just the straw that broke the camel's back per say. Maybe this death was just one too many for me to see and I've finally snapped.

      I had a horse that had a heart murmur. I think horses are like people....
      After I gave him away,he was sold. Eventually the people got in contact with me. It was nice that I got updates on him. Eventually he started losing weight. They took him to the university and found out he had cancer. He lived a good life,and was loved.

      @@hilarydunaway4807 I agree. As mammals, they potentially suffer most the effects of ageing as happen in humans. It sounds like your horse was a much loved animal❤️. My point relates to the effect of anabolic steroids causing heart muscle enlargement, as it can in people, eventually leading to various forms of heart disfunction.

How can someone be absolutely right when the majority of what leaves their mouth is pure ignorance, nothing more, and they look like a proper clown while spewing the nonsense into their microphone?
      This woman is literally as oblivious as one can be when regarding this subject... She doesn't even know what a furlong is. She thinks it's a type of exercise that a horse does...
      As if that wasn't enough stupidity to share on camera, she also made it clear that she believes betamethasone (the drug that Medina Spirit failed the postrace test with) is a banned substance. Betamethasone is not a banned substance, people. It's a restricted substance...
      No, the words "banned" and "restricted" do *NOT* share the same meaning... I really don't understand why this tiny yet crucial bit of information is so godd*mn difficult for so many to grasp.
      If you wish to seek information regarding this situation, I suggest you search elsewhere because these people are idiots and that's putting it nicely.

      @@drudanng.8567 I don't believe she said furlong but besides that her comment about breathing medications is what I commented on. I have rehabbed horses coming down from common medications used on the track & also talk to veterinarians routinely about side effects. Horses have a hard time coming down from meds . It's very sad & they usually are forever comprised. Not all trainers are bad & I don't think all medications are bad. It's not wrong to keep a horse comfortable if it has a problem but to keep them going with medications that hide serious problems is not ethical & killing the sport. If a horse has a problem they should be backed off their training until sound not numbed & sent out like nothing is wrong. There is absolutely a serious lack of patience in today's training. I have quit trainers who wanted me to go faster than a horse was ready for. Owners need education too! The horse should be respected and the number one priority.

      @@horsemom6421 Well... I could not agree more with literally everything you said.
      I assumed you were agreeing with all that she said and I shouldn't have... And for that, I apologize.
      There most certainly is a severe problem with the doping of our horses and I'm sick and tired of people either turning a blind eye to it or not taking the time to educate themselves on the matter. There is nothing more frustrating than someone who either behaves as if the misuse of medications isn't as much of a problem as it truly is OR someone who doesn't understand much of anything to do with it and yet goes out of their way to make attempts to "educate" others... And I honestly think that Baffert supporters get my blood boiling the most.
      How are you just going to sit there and basically worship a man who has a long list of doping scandals as well as a trail of dead trainees behind him? He gets caught and they excuse it.
      "Baffert would never do such a thing! He was telling the truth about that stable employee urinating in the hay that his horse ingested. That's why it failed that test."
      He gets caught again and they excuse it.
      "Baffert doesn't drug his horses! Stop with the witch hunt!"
      He gets caught yet again and they excuse it.
      "Baffert is the best trainer in the world and everyone accusing him of drugging his horses are just envious of his greatness!"
      Attempting to speak to one of those individuals is the equivalent of attempting to speak to a spoiled brat of a child who has shoved their fingers into their ears and begun to scream at the top of their lungs, "I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"
      One of the worst arguments they bring to the table is the whole "Why focus on him when there are so many others who are just as corrupt?" To anyone who may find themselves reading this and just so happen to be one of those people, the cleansing of all of the trash in our beloved sport has to start somewhere and unfortunately for Bob, he's the most reckless of the bunch.
      Another ignorant argument they are prone to spew out is, "Medina Spirit finished ahead of EQ and HRC in the BCC which proves his KY Derby win wasn't a fluke, therefore he should not be disqualified as the winner!"
      Man oh man. I swear that I can sometimes feel one of my eyes beginning to twitch when I read things such as that. Why is it so extremely difficult for people to comprehend the fact that the rules are the rules and if they are broken, punishment is the only right thing to do. If a horse fails a drug test because it has too much of a restricted substance within it's system, the horse should be disqualified. Period. There are no buts or ifs. The popularity of the horse's trainer is irrelevant. The popularity of the horse's owners are irrelevant. The popularity of the horse's jockey is irrelevant. The way in which the horse received the drug is also irrelevant. The horse failed so it is what it is. There should not be any sort of favoritism within this industry... None AT ALL...
      Going back to Medina though, I'm glad to know that he will be examined before he's cremated. I hope that if Baffert is even partially responsible for Medina's death, that it will come to light. If it does, however, I definitely will not be surprised. Matter of fact, I suspect that to be the exact case...
      This sport is crumbling into ruins before our very eyes. I hope the big change coming next year will help in more ways than one but that's probably just wishful thinking.

    They dope horses and put them through terrible workouts all the time. The horse was only 3 years old. Steroid use does effect an animals heart. They have to be weaned on and off of them. Ask any veterinarian, they will tell you so. There have been documentaries about these owners having their race horses put down intentionally for the insurance money because they're worth more dead than alive. I will post a link in the comments below.

    Think the Horse (and Jockey) should be allowed to keep the title, if not the winnings, regardless. He's gone too soon, God Bless Him. So much potential, erased, just like that.
    It's a crying shame. The Racing Industry needs to do Way more to protect, and ensure they're safety!

    He died because man treated him horribly!! The racing industry is so bad and very mean to all race horses!! He did not die suddenly or during a workout!!! He died because man treated him horribly and what they do to the horses is if they're hurting physically in the legs or feet the person don't really care for the horses at all,but the money only! I'm going to send this video to the United States of Humane Society for further investigation! ☹️ That poor horse was too young to die at three years old!! 😞💔💔💔
    What happens to the horse's hooves and legs is if they are hurt or cut in any way shape or form it's not treated by the people who race those horses! It's not treated at all! What they do is just bandage it up to keep the blood from coming out and they numb it for a while until they finish the race! In the meantime while they're racing and the wound is numb and bandaged up it's causing more damage than good to the horses! And who's ever in charge of the horse industry don't give a crap about those horses! That poor fur baby was too young to die just like that! I have seen videos on the racing industry of the horses and have seen what they do to those poor innocent horses to "make" them keep racing so they can get their stupid money! They don't care about the horses themselves at all they make them keep running regardless of how they're feeling or how much they're hurting in their legs and hooves and feet! 💔💔😭😭 I repeat, that horse did not die suddenly or while working out! I don't believe that at all! He might have been abused somehow someway because he didn't want to race or something was wrong with his feet his hooves or his legs and they forced him and that's why I believe he might have been abused to force him to race! Man is evil and cruel to animals! And I'm going to report this video in any other videos that concerns Medina Spirit because the United States of the Humane Society will investigate this further with authorities! ♥️♥️ My heart is totally broken for that poor innocent horse! 😭😭💔💔 The news media has a false report on that horse! Because who's ever care that horse was in you need to go further and investigate that person deep, real deep pry and pry deeper! 😠 I'm going by with what the reports said and I heard. That he died suddenly while racing on the track, or I heard also that he just died suddenly but where? And I also heard that he just died at 3 years old and I heard that he died of some sort of heart attack! I don't believe any of those stinking reports because I know better! That horse died from evil man's hands! That horse was only 3 years old according to reports! That was a very young horse in my opinion! He did not die from no heart attack, he did not die suddenly while racing, he did not die from working out according to what I heard! I do not believe any of those things none of them are irrelevant! Therefore I'm going to report this to the United States Humane Society! Hopefully I can talk them into investigating it further! 💔💔😠🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎 And another thing I hope his spirit comes back to haunt the person who treated it wrong in the first place! I am not a normally bad person the way I'm talking here. I am a Christian but I do not and will not tolerate animal abuse in any way shape or form because I am totally totally and extremely against it! 😠 Of course, the other horses who were with that horse cannot speak for him. That's why I advise further investigation into this horse industry thing because the reports are stupid! The horse was only 3 years old is what I heard, and he died suddenly while racing on the track, is what I heard, and he had a heart attack of some sort is what I heard! And I know for a fact, none of these are true! Further investigation requires questioning, interrogation and somehow someway get a hold of that horse that people say died suddenly at 3 years old and do a thorough investigation on its legs its hoofs and his feet! Man!! I wish I was a private investigator for innocent animals who abused and neglected all over the world because I would do my job superbly well. I'm going to pray for this horse and pray that it will get Justice for its death. 😢💔💔😥😩 I'm also going to report this to the Humane Society of United States. 💔💔💔😢😢😢😞 And they are not allegations!! Further investigation needs to be done and there should be no such thing as a horse racing industry at all period!! They should be banned from racing any houses and fined $450,000 and put in prison for life!! 😠 That Bob guy, his trainer, that's evidence there it's a report it's considered evidence he needs to be stopped and banned all together! That man needs to be put in prison for life and find $450,000! 😠💔💔

      Medina Spirit wasn't traveling at 40mph at the time he collapsed. He began to slow down as he approached the wire, which was not normal, and he then began to stagger before he eventually just fell over dead.
      There was no mention of anyone being injured so the exercise rider is more than likely okay.
