Havnameltdown was put down after stumbling on the final turn during the Preakness undercard on Saturday.
Baffert’s colt, Medina Spirit, won the Kentucky Derby that year but was later disqualified after failing a drug test. The violation resulted in a suspension for Baffert, who was not allowed to saddle any horses for Triple Crown races in 2022.
In a statement, PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo said that Baffert should be barred from Pimlico. “Pimlico should have followed Churchill Downs’ example and barred Bob Baffert from the track,” Guillermo said. “The tragic death of Havnameltdown is the latest in a long line of fatalities.”
