Bronco Busting

I know, I know. You’re sick and tired of stories of corrupt people gaming the system. So let’s take a break and focus on a corrupt horse. “On June 9, 2018, a colt named Justify thundered home to the full-throated cheers of a capacity crowd to win the 150th running of the Belmont Stakes and claim horse racing’s Triple Crown, one of the most storied achievements in sports. It was the perfect ending to an improbable journey for a talented horse, his eclectic ownership group, and his Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert. Only a few people, however, knew the secret that Baffert carried with him into the winner’s circle that day.” Justify Failed a Drug Test Before Winning the Triple Crown.
