Churchill Downs announced Friday that trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. has been reinstated.
Joesph will be permitted to enter horses in races and may apply for stall occupancy at all CDI-owned racetracks effective immediately.
The decision comes after an investigation by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission that began after the release of necropsy reports of two of Joseph’s horses that died suddenly in races at Churchill Downs.
President and Chief Operating Officer of CDI Bill Mudd said they remain deeply concerned about the condition of Parents Pride and Chasing Artie that led to their sudden death, but given the details as a result of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission investigation, there is no basis to continue Joseph’s suspension.
