FILE - In this April 7, 2018, file photo, trainer Bob Baffert stands near the winner's circle ahead of the Santa Anita Derby horse race at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. The deaths of 23 horses over three months at Santa Anita in California have roiled an industry already battered by declining attendance, increased competition for gambling dollars, and the ire of animal rights activists. Several trainers, including five-time Kentucky Derby winner Bob Baffert, believe the rare winter rains that inundated Santa Anita after years of drought were the main culprit in the deaths. Baffert didn’t lose any horses, noting that he chose not to train or race on rainy days. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong, File)
