Maximum Security, second from right, was disqualified from the Kentucky Derby after crossing the finish line first Saturday. By Chuck Culpepper Chuck Culpepper Reporter who covers national college football, college basketball, tennis, golf and international sports. Email Bio Follow May 4 at 8:59 PM LOUISVILLE — The Kentucky Derby on Saturday freakishly joined the Miss Universe pageant and the Academy Awards among recent-years competitions with apparent results dramatically overturned.
While they waited, Mott told NBC, “There was definitely a foul in the race,” and, “I would say this: If it were a maiden claimer on a weekday, the winner would come down.” Commenting for NBC, Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Jerry Bailey suggested that while there had been wrongdoing, the stewards might overlook it because the race had gone to the best.
They did what no officials had done in all the Kentucky Derbies since 1875: They took down the winner because of an infraction — different from the controversy of 1968, when Dancer’s Image appeared to win the Derby only to have it overturned after a post-race drug test, with Forward Pass declared the winner.
He had won with a horse who had finished second in the Risen Star at the Louisiana Fair Grounds in February, fourth in the Louisiana Derby in March and third in the Arkansas Derby in April. “When he was a 2-year-old,” Mott said, “he was one of those who didn’t show us a lot,” but then, “I’ve been telling people all winter, if this horse ever wakes up and figures out what he’s doing, the mile and a quarter is certainly within his reach.
Derby history A Kentucky Derby winner was disqualified once before — days after the 1968 race, over a drug scandal that remained shrouded in mystery 50 years later.
