"Owner's Appeal Denied: Baffert-Trained Muth Barred from 2024 Kentucky Derby"

A judge has denied a request by the owner of Bob Baffert-trained Arkansas Derby winner Muth to run in the 150th Kentucky Derby, citing concerns about the fairness and integrity of the sport. The owner's request for a temporary injunction was declined, and the judge expressed worry about the impact on other eligible horses if Muth were allowed to compete. Churchill Downs had extended Baffert's suspension through 2024, and the owner's emergency appeal is pending.
