The owners of Maximum Security, the horse that was disqualified at the Kentucky Derby, have filed a federal lawsuit, seeking to overturn the disqualification
Maximum Security led the derby for much of the way and crossed the finish line 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Country House but was disqualified for interference while turning for home. Stewards decided that Maximum Security impacted the progress of War of Will, which in turn interfered with Long Range Toddy and Bodexpress. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, challenges the evidence and process used to disqualify Maximum Security.
Country House was declared the winner. Chief steward Barbara Borden read a statement to the media after the ruling -- which said Maximum Security had veered out of his path -- but took no questions.After interviewing jockeys and watching video for nearly 20 minutes, all three stewards agreed to penalize Maximum Security.
