People don’t understand how dangerous that was. You HAVE to stay in your lane, those 2 horses almost clipped heels, which means broken legs for 2 horses.

That means both horses have to be put down.

If I'm looking for a stud, I'm going with the horse that beat the declared winner by over a length and a half.

Wasn’t intentional, obviously. Track was a mud pit and jockey did his best with a young horse in front on a loud crowd. But rules are rules, and the Derby enforced them correctly.

I just wonder why there wasn’t a protest from the War of Will folks. That was the horse that Maximum Security actually fouled, not Country House.

Would've, could've, should've, what I witnessed was a horse dusting the other horses from start to finish, and bc of a little rubbing,they shafted the true winner. Politicians at there finest.

Yep, that horse should be 5 for 5 now. And I don't know if this will change the owners mind about racing in the next 2 legs, but can you imagine if Max security goes ahead and wins Belmont and Preakness? That would be gut-wrenching lol.

I have seen far worse in over 40+ years watching, this is in the mud; so more leeway should have been a factor.

100% the right call

You cant start in the 1 path and end up in the 5 path. The horse was not clear of the other horses andsho uld have maintained a straight course as best he could.
