NBC was hoping it turned out the way it did......FIRST TIME! Maximum Security was the winner...the best finisher. The second place horse was never hindered!
MS was disqualified.
I am heartbroken.
I gad $80 on Max Security to win, and he was on top of ALL my exotic bets.
I also had $11 on Country House to win. I won MORE Money as a result of this ruling. But, I HATE it! Those horses had a quarter mile to fix any interference. They never had a chance. Maximum Security was the best horse on that track today... by far. Does anyone really doubt it?
This was a blot on horse racing.
I didn't see the race. Is it literally true that second place was never hindered? If so, why did owner file complaint?
