Maximum Security's Preakness status unclear after Kentucky Derby disqualification.
The next stop in the chase for the Triple Crown is the Preakness, though both Maximum Security and Country House remain noncommittal for the May 18 race following Maximum Security's disqualification from the Kentucky Derby.
"When you're not going for the Triple Crown, sometimes it doesn't make sense to wheel the horse back in two weeks," West said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. Stewards cited a section of the rule that calls for disqualification if"a leading horse or any other horse in a race swerves or is ridden to either side so as to interfere with, intimidate, or impede any other horse or jockey."
"We wanted to have the stewards explain to us what they saw and show us on their video the pictures of exactly what they saw, and they refused to allow us to do that," he said. President Donald Trump blasted Maximum Security's disqualification, blaming the Derby outcome on"political correctness."
