Baffert will compete in the Breeders’ Cup in 2021

October 20, 2021 by Alan Roberts Leave a Comment

If you have been following the Breeders’ Cup 2021 for a while, you must be familiar with Bob Baffert. The all-time leading trainer of Breeders’ Cup is going to participate this year’s event edition that takes place from November 5 to 6 at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, California.

Back then, folks had just been expecting something. rumors were coming to pass. According to the Breeders’ Cup officials, there would be a way for Baffert to participate in the upcoming event. They gave the statement on Sunday.

Baffert’s participation will absolutely be possible when some conditions are met. Some of the certain conditions are the enchanced security of the barn, as well as improved out-of-competition testing for his horses.

Back then in September, the event officials stated that they were planning to conduct a review process to conclude Baffert’s status in the rise of failed drug tests. The Medina Spirit positive test for the corticosteroid betamethasone was the fifth drug test which resulted in a failure. It is also the third in the Grade 1 race, which is not a good record over a one-year period.

The hearing for Medina Spirit has yet to take place. In the meantime, Baffert’s attorneys and the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission have been in court to test the split sample from the horse. Baffer has also been involved in legal matters with the NY Racing Association.

In this other case, the New York Racing Association has been looking to ban the trainer from participating on the tracks.

Moreover, Churchill Downs Inc. also stated that they wouldn’t allow Baffert to use their facilities, including for racing or stable. That includes the ban at the flagship track in Louisville, where the Kentucky Derby event takes place. The banning of Churchill Downs will go on until the end of 2023. That means we won’t see Baffert’s participation in the next two Kentucky Derbies.

The effects are not only going to the trainer, but also the horses under his care. Churchill Downs officials concluded that the horses under Baffert’s care wouldn’t be awarded the formal points for the Kentucky Derby.

The Breeders Cup has high standards in racing which focus on the high level of safety and performance of all of the participants, including the horses, riders, fans, and punters. The Breeders’ Cup Board of Directors has prepared a special review to evaluate the participation of Bob Baffert in the upcoming event. The officials will determine if they can allow Baffert to participate in the 2021 World Championships as well.

With such an announcement, the officials have also given the nod to provide an opportunity for Mr. Baffert to participate in the board meeting. When it comes to the inquiries, the Board officials have appreciated Baffert’s participation and cooperation in all of the progress.

The Breeders’ Cup officials have decided to pint strict requirements to Mr. Baffert in order to participate in the upcoming Breeders’ Cup 2021. The horses presented by Baffert must undergo a series of security and performance protocols. The standards are high enough so that only deserving participants will be able to join in the riot.

I guess we just need to wait again until the decision is made.

There have always been interesting things going on when the Breeders Cup is fast approaching. It also works that way for the Del Mar Village Association. They are celebrating the Breeders’ Cup with the “Paint the Town Purple” movement.

Del Mar Village Association

The participants of this initiative make the components of the town purple and gold. That includes the banners, signs, light poles, and more.

The Del Mar Village Association is a non-profit organization that is interested in following the Breeders’ Cup festival. In one important agenda item for the Breeders’ Cup, they are going with the “Paint the Town Purple” initiative.

Yes, if you’ve imagined that the town will be in purple, you are right. The executive director, Jen Grove, also stated that the Village Association had considered that it would be great to paint the town purple to celebrate the upcoming event, which will happen in early November. It is also to make the visitors more interested in visiting their town to watch the Breeders’ Cup.

The Breeders’ Cup is an international event since there are 16 countries that will be participating in the competition. It would be a great idea to celebrate the event altogether with the 16 participating countries. The Del Mar Village Association wanted to welcome folks from across the globe to the area.

The last Breeders’ Cup was back in 2017. Therefore, it can be counted as a miracle that people in Del Mar will be welcoming horse racing once again. Although it was only four years ago, this spectacular event has been a part of the village’s history. For the officials at Del Mar Village Association, hooldng the Breeders’ Cup is indeed a great thing.

Due to the pandemic, Del Mar folks have been struggling to survive their tourism industry. The upcoming event will really save them from a lot of hassles.

More and more people will come into their small town from across the globe. And the officials wanted to make sure that all of the visitors were welcomed warmly when visiting their town. The upcoming Breeders’ Cup will boost the economy of Del Mar in November as well as for their business community.

Besides the small town’s economy, the Breeders’ Cup will also improve Del Mar Thoroughbred Club positively. As we know, the club was hugely affected by the covid restrictions, decreased revenue, as well as decreasing numbers of attendees during the pandemic. Not to mention that some protesters were calling for the sport to end for many reasons.

Craig Dado, the executive VP of Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, also welcomed the initiative since it would encourage support from fans across the globe. He also added that it was great to see the town so excited.

According to the club, the place is going to host 14 Breeders races and 8 undercard races. It is a huge boost for tourism pockets for them, as the total purses and awards total around $31.In only a day, a lot of money revolves around the Club and local vendors. It is great growth for both the local vendors and the club that hosts the upcoming event.
