Please see the following statement from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo regarding a California judge\u2019s order to disqualify<\/a> Justify from his win in the 2018 Santa Anita Derby:<\/p>\n

Justice was slow, but the court has at last come down on the side of the horses\u2019 and ordered Justify\u2019s win in the 2018 Santa Anita Derby to be set aside. It can\u2019t end here. Justify tested positive for a banned substance and must be stripped of his Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown titles. He would not have qualified for the Derby had California officials acted properly and thus would never have won the Triple Crown. Bob Baffert must not sweep doping under the rug with flimsy excuses, and the industry must take responsibility for protecting all Thoroughbreds at all times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
