FULL TITLE: Country House sensationally wins the Kentucky Derby after first-place finisher Maximum Security is DISQUALIFIED following steward's inquiry for impeding other riders
Country House has won the 2019 Kentucky Derby.
The long-shot horse, with odds of 65-1, was declared the winner of the world-famous $3 million race on Saturday, after Maximum Security was sensationally disqualified in a stewards' call.
Maximum Security crossed the line first, but its championship title was revoked after judges ruled that the thoroughbred had impeded other riders by changing lanes at the final turn.
The 150,000 spectators who descended on Churchill Downs in Louisville to watch the world-famous race were forced to wait for more than 20 minutes for a victor to be declared.
Shortly after 7 pm, Country House was crowned the winner after officials disqualified Maximum Security for the foul.
The shock decision marks the first time in the race's 145 year history that the victor has been changed on the day.

I AGREE!!!!
It can kill you reading story after story about their antics.
And then there’s the heart crushing abortion articles that we have to know about but are so gut wrenching!!
This was a nice change of pace :)
Iditarod...There was no reason to call me a name :)
Correction —I called War of Will, Will to Win. Anyway,he got screwed more than any other horse.If Gaffalione lodged an objection, they didn’t report it on the coverage.
Or how about that non-interference call in the New Orleans Saints game?
I don’t know how you guys put any money on country house! Tax (#2) was my long shot bet. Geez. Glad you won some.

Fraud. Plain and simple
Complete utter cheating
UPDATE: Hillary Clinton placed a $1,000 bet on Country House after a tip from Robert L. “Red” Bone.
war of wills front legs went in between MS’s rear legs mark 0:30 - that’s how far MS came out of his lane. War of wills, impeded, impedes Toddy. Kuddos to WoW’s jockey for keeping that horse on it’s feet and preventing something really ugly. And I agree with the commentators, MS was the best horse running, too bad.

maybe men shouldn't be obstetricians....
The symbolism:
The FBI and the just-us department (Maximum Security) tries to rig the outcome of a presidential election using illegal means such as spying on Trump, finding false witnesses to torpedo supreme court justice nominee, and then conducting an unwarranted inquiry (Muller investigation) meanwhile Country House (Trump and his Flyover supporters, clinging to Guns and their Bibles and the rule of law; the bitter clingers) are exonerated and come out winners (wins election, Muller investigation comes up empty, get nominee seated; swamp is getting drained).
Rigged.
The track was sloppy impossible to stay ‘in your lane’. But let’s face it. It’s a dirt track. There are no lanes.
When bookies don’t pay off?… people will DIE. This race was a travesty brought on by greed. Follow the money.
________________
A liberal call .... they didn't want to give the win to the bully, DJT. And they wanted to give it to the horse (Country House) named after Bernie Sanders' payment for losing the nomination to The Beast.
(just kidding)
If you see the video, you will see Country House running up the ass of Maximum Security while trying to overtake. Maximum security was out front and was steady, no way the jockey intentionally fouled the horse, it was not a foul, it was a slip by Country House on a greasy track.
It looks like the fix was in for Country House.Politics and liberal fascist, political correctness culture have apparently invaded the Kentucky Derby. They should be ashamed. Now the Derby exists in a fantasy world instead of the world of fact. HORRIBLE!
Videos do not lie.
This.

.... good points.
Post of the day! Well said. I can’t believe so many FReepers disagree with the decision that was made. It is normally liberals who see no problem with minor infractions of rules. A lot of horses have been harmed on the track because of cheating, not forgetting to mention the maiming of their jockeys.
He didn’t get screwed, nor did anyone say he obstructed Country HOuse. He ran out of his lane, bumped another horse on the left, veered right, bumped another horse, the jockey actually swung his hand out and hit the other horse/jockey 2 or three times. He was disqualified correctly and the second place horse is the winner.
Those track conditions were horrendous. They called off a big horse race not too long ago because of conditions like that because too many horses were wiping out and breaking legs.
“Coming to NASCAR next.”

Yes. You also get your two dollars back your bet so it makes him a 132 dollar horse.
