"We need to do right by him and missing a race is going to be what it's going to be this time," said Antonucci, who became the first female trainer to win one of U.S. thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown races at the Belmont Stakes in June. The 40th running of the Breeders' Cup, which consists of 14 races over Friday and Saturday, comes amid ongoing controversy over the welfare of horses in a sport which is desperately trying to revive its image.
Baffert, one of the sport's most recognizable faces, is no stranger to allegations of the illegal doping of horses and questions about thoroughbreds dying in his stables over his Hall of Fame career.
