    Default Kentucky Derby Winner Disqualified

    So, in case you didn't hear...there was a first Saturday in the 145th Kentucky Derby. The winning horse, Maximum Security, was disqualified after the race.
    Maximum Security was first to finish Saturday’s muddy Derby before becoming the marquee race’s first winner to be disqualified for interference. Stewards elevated runner-up Country House, a 65-1 long shot, to the winner’s circle after determining that Maximum Security impeded his path and two others’ exiting the final turn. Maximum Security was ultimately placed 17th of 19 horses after starting as the 9-2 second betting choice, ending his four-race winning streak.
    West also said that Maximum Security will not run in the Preakness on May 18, which would mean a potential rematch with longshot Derby champion Country House would need to wait until the June 8 Belmont Stakes at the earliest.

    So the work coming out of Churchill Downs is that this was a way to protect the triple crown. To many winners diminishes the prestige. Back room politician in everything.
