BREAKING NEWS – Sacramento, California – Triple Crown winner Justify failed a drug test in California just two months before he ran in the Kentucky Derby, which should have disqualified him from the race, according to a report. The California Horse Racing Board — whose chairman, Chuck Winner, owns an interest in Baffert’s horses — took more than a month to confirm the drug test results. Had they done so sooner, Justify would have been disqualified from the Kentucky Derby and prevented from becoming the 13th Triple Crown winner since Sir Barton in 1919. Winner held a press conference and defended Justify. “During the time when Justify failed the drug test, his personal life was in turmoil,” he began. “His wife had left him and he was named in a palimony lawsuit. I admit that Justify abused cocaine, but he did have a veterinarian approved medical marijuana card.”
