Medina Spirit won the Kentucky Derby on May 1, but his trainer Bob Baffert has admitted that he tested positive for a banned substance. The winner of the Derby is declared the runner-up. It's the second time in three years that the winner has been disqualified. A gambling expert is considering legal action. He wants to get his money back. He won an Eclipse Award worth $1 million in 2012. If Mandaloun is disqualified, he will lose about $50,000. In the most recent disqualification, the owner of Maximum Security appealed the decision, which made Country House the real winner.
