At least 74 horses have died in Baffert’s care in his home state of California since 2000, reported the Washington Post. Factoring in the number of races run in California, Baffert’s horses have died at the highest rate of the 10 trainers who have had the most horse deaths. Sign this petition and demand that the National Thoroughbred Racing Association ban Bob Baffert from ever training another horse!
