FULL TITLE: 'The best horse did NOT win!' Trump blasts controversial Kentucky Derby reversal as 'political correctness' after winning horse is disqualified for 'impeding' another's path
President Donald Trump added his outrage on sunday to the national dustup over Saturday's controversial Kentuky Derby finish, complaining that disqualifying the apparent winning horse for interfering with another is a sign of 'political correctness' run amok.
'The Kentuky [sic] Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch,' Trump wrote on Twitter.
'Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby - not even close!'
Trump misspelled 'Kentucky' in 'Kentucky Derby.'
The 145th running of the Triple Crown's most fabled race disintegrated into sportsmanship chaos after judges disqualified first-place finisher Maximum Security and declared runner-up Country House the winner.
TV viewers also were outraged by the result, blasting the race stewards who made the controversial call.
'Fixed! I'll never watch this again! Shame on you!' one fan declared in a tweet.
'Shameful! It was clear who won! #MaximumSecurity', added another.
While thousands were left shocked by the disqualification, it was very welcome news for one bettor who put money on Country House, an underdog with odds of 65-1.
According to sports analyst Darren Rovell, the person placed $2,500 on Country House before winning a whopping $133,000 in return.

Go away you troll.
