Trainer of Kentucky Derby winner could be forced to REPAY $1.86 million in prize money
Trainer of Kentucky Derby winner could be forced to repay the $1.86 million in prize money. The horse failed a drug test and is facing disqualification. If the horse is thrown out of the race and second place is declared, the bettors who backed Mandaloun will receive nothing. Second place Mandaloun received $600,000 with the jockey taking a 5%. If Mandalun is the winner, it will be Brad Cox's first Kentucky derby win. It could also be years down the line when various appeals are factored. Bob Baffert, trainer of Medina Spirit, is fighting the drug.
