Masochistic Headed To Bob Baffert Racing Stables
Gr.1 stakes' winner Masochistic will join a star-studded lineup in celebrity trainer Bob Baffert's stables, after some vet-prescribed rest & relaxation at Taylor Made Farm. The 7-year-old Sought After gelding has raced twice in 2017 for trainer Ron Ellis, but the owners Will Shamlian and Samantha Siegel feel that the change is in the 'horse’s best interest'. Masochistic was disqualified from second to seventh in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) because of a positive test for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. Although Shamlian said what happened during and after the Breeders' Cup Sprint did not have an impact on the decision.
