Kentucky Derby trainer suspended after multiple horse deaths at Churchill Downs.
TL;DR Summary
Churchill Downs Inc. has indefinitely suspended racehorse trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. following the sudden deaths of two horses, both trained by Joseph, at the company’s namesake racetrack in Louisville. The decision means Lord Miles, another horse trained by Joseph, cannot run as planned in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby. The safety of the equine and human athletes and integrity of the sport is the highest priority, said CDI President and CEO Bill Mudd.
