What position did the board give to Maximum Security?
I don’t know, but it is my understanding that this was the first time in the history of the Derby that a horse was disqualified for an on-track violation.
Maximum Security was disqualified...essentially did not finish.
“What position did the board give to Maximum Security?”
Well, he was disqualified. So, presumably he came in last place? Not a big horse racing guy. So, can’t give a definitive answer. Guessing there’s someone out there that knows for sure though. Maybe he/she will speak up.
assigned Maximum Security to last place after DQ.
Last
Please don’t listen to all these ignoramuses.
As soon as it went official, the placings of all were posted. MS was placed 17th, BEHIND THE PLACINGS OF THE HORSES HE SCREWED UP, which included the 16th-place horse, Long Range Toddy.
He is not last, he is not DNF (did not finish) or “not given credit for running” as some other ignoramus stated here. DQ horses are places behind whichever other horses they interfered with.
In the old days...and I mean old....DQ meant the horse was simply placed last. That stopped some time ago, like more than a century.
MS officially placed in front of 2 other horses.
