Country House wasn’t declared the winner because of something Maximum Security did to it. Country House was declared the winner because it finished in second place and the first-place horse was disqualified for something that had nothing to do with Country House.
Thank you.You are exactly right. Max Security screwed up a number of horses, especially #1-—who he nearly caused to clip heels with him, when he veered into his path. But W to W finished pretty far back finally. I have to check the full charts on Equibase. I have a hunch, Max Security was placed LAST.
