Medina Spirit’s Kentucky Derby win is officially vacated after a positive test for betamethasone. So what about the bets cashed in on the victory?
Even with the decision Monday to disqualify Medina Spirit, pari-mutuel wagering won't to be affected.
The stewards' decision disqualifying Medina Spirit included specifically said: "Pari-mutuel wagering is not affected by this ruling."
In other words, the payouts are done and over.
No. 8 Medina Spirit won the 147th Kentucky Derby at odds of 12-1, meaning a $10 win-bet returned $120. His subsequent disqualification doesn't change that.
