P,s. Maximum Security was one I was hoping for too. He was the fastest horse.

I haven't even watched a horse race in years.

I don't really have good memories of my time in Kentucky, as is I went back home to Georgia seemingly half dead with my tail between my legs.

My wife wanted to watch the race and I was impressed that the favorite was five to one and had not lost. When the disqualification happened with an appeal from a party at 65 to one odds that was not actually harmed, I smelled a rat and still do. Especially because it had never happened to a winner in 145 years. In less "civilized", yet more genteel times someone would have paid right there where he stood. That was not cricket.

I don’t know a lot about either. But underdogs do sometimes win in the horse races, even Derbys. it doesn’t mean something underhanded happened to disqualify MS. MS did violate the rules and jeopardize safety of horses and jockeys. It is a shame he cut into the other horses. But it did happen.
