The New York Racing Association has temporarily suspended trainer Bob Baffert from entering any horses in races at the track that is host to the Belmont Stakes in less than three weeks.
Baffert horses cannot occupy stall space at NYRA facilities at Belmont Park. The Hall of Fame trainer's horses are also banned from Saratoga Race Course and Aqueduct Racetrack, the organization announced Monday. The NYRA said the length and terms of Baffert's suspension will be based on information revealed during the ongoing investigation by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission into Medina Spirit's failed drug test after the colt's Kentucky Derby win.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
