But when factoring in the number of races run, Baffert’s horses have died at the highest rate of the 10 trainers who have had the most horse deaths. Per The Washington Post‘s Steven Rich and Gus Garcia-Roberts:Īt least 74 horses have died in Baffert’s care in his home state of California since 2000, more than all but two of hundreds of trainers in the state, according to a Post analysis of data and public records. Medina Spirit was disqualified from the 2021 Kentucky Derby, meaning Baffert’s record seven Kentucky Derby victories is now back down to six.įor as celebrated as Baffert is, and for as much as his celebrity has grown inside and outside of the sport, claims of cheating and mistreatment of his horses have followed him for years. In fact, Medina Spirit’s positive test was Baffert’s fifth medical violation in 13 months.
Medina Spirit died on the track following a workout at Santa Anita Park in California in December 2021. As USA TODAY Sports noted, a federal judge in February sided with Churchill Downs’ ban. Taking his suspension to the courts didn’t work out for Baffert, however. The trainer was also hit with a 90-day suspension, which precluded him from entering any of the Triple Crown races in 2022. While Baffert initially denied ever administering the drug, a subsequent investigation revealed the substance was found in an ointment applied to the horse.įollowing the confirmation of a positive drug test in June 2021, Baffert was banned from all Churchill Downs properties for two years- a punishment that will expire following the 2023 Spring Meet. Shortly after winning the 2021 Kentucky Derby, Medina Spirit tested positive for the banned steroid betamethasone. The 70-year-old horse trainer has won the Kentucky Derby six times, claimed two Triple Crowns (2015, 2018) and was the handler behind American Pharoah, Justify, Authentic and Medina Spirit.Īnd it’s that last name that helps explain why Baffert wasn’t allowed at the 2022 Kentucky Derby and why he’s still banned in 2023. The majority of them could probably pick the silver-haired trainer out of a lineup. It might also take a lot of fun out of the game.Editor’s note: This story was originally published in 2022 and has been updated.Įven the most casual horse racing observers have probably heard the name Bob Baffert.
#Recent banished cheats mod#
Warning: this mod makes the game considerably easier and will be considered cheating by most gamers.
In version 3 the growth rate has been doubled for all resources that support growth: trees (wild and in orchards), plants (crops, gatherer resources and herbs) and animals (wild deer and animals in pastures) now grow or produce offspring twice as fast. You can however, destroy your existing buildings and place new ones which will have the increase in volume. This will only work for new buildings of these types, so storage barns and stockpiles built before activation of this mod will not be changed. In version 2 the volume of the storage barn has been increased to 20000 units (default 6000) and the stockpile space has been doubled to 500 units per tile (default 250). It also compensates for the increase in resource stacks by reducing the weight of some heavy items. It takes a bit of time before it works (because it only works for new resources), but it's compatible with existing save games. Production buildings will also generate twice a much items for the same amount of resources. All newly generated resources, like crops from fields and logs from trees will be doubled (more or less). This mod increases the amount of resources gained from all sources.
