Kentucky appeals court denies Bob Baffert-trained Arkansas Derby winner Muth to enter Kentucky Derby
A Kentucky appeals court judge has denied Zedan Racing Stables’ requests for an emergency hearing and ruling that sought to allow Bob Baffert-trained Arkansas Derby winner Muth to run in next week’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Kentucky Court of Appeals Judge Jeff S. Taylor issued an order denying relief on Wednesday, saying Zedan’s motion failed to name the Hall of Fame trainer suspended by Churchill Downs as an “indispensable party” in its motion. A three-judge panel will hear the motions as standard procedure, but time is short for an immediate decision with eligible Derby horses required to be stabled at the track by Saturday morning. The post draw is Saturday evening.

Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su says workers at southern auto plants should be free to unionize without employer or political interference, even as some southern states pass new laws meant to inhibit organized labor. Su told The Associated Press in a Thursday interview that recent votes show all workers, even southern ones, are interested in unions. The United Auto Workers is pursuing a campaign to organize southern auto plants after winning new contracts with Detroit's automakers. Workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted last week to join the UAW. But Southern states are pushing laws to claw back economic incentive dollars if companies recognize unions without a secret ballot election.
