War of Will had to be pulled up hard, the jockey said the reason why they didn't fall was because of the athletic ability of War of Will. Regardless, by pulling him up, it caused him to lose the race, as well as a horse right behind him.

I have been a fan of US Racing for over 40 years, and have seen much worse infringements where the winner was not taken down, simply because the interference did not affect the final outcome.. IN my opinion it was an inequitable unfair decision by unjudicial Stewards.

It’s harsh, and even when considered the bad conditions of that track during the race, it’s hard to argue with the DQ. While I haven’t been watching horse racing all the time, I watched enough to figure out how calls like that were being made. The late Hong Kong trainer/commentator/actor Bill Tung, had he been alive watching this video, he would have said the similar things as he had known all the ins and outs with his vast experience, to the point that he would have asked the video crew to repeat that same section of the race at least half of dozens times on live broadcast and highlights.

This is the only angle that should be shown when talking about this... don't understand what is wrong with people who analyze things like this.

Its the Jockey's job to correct the horse after he notices it. But he clearly doesn't.

The stewards made the correct decision. Saez tried to be slick and tried to pinch and slide the outside 3 horses right out of the race. And then he swings straight to rail to bump Velasquez who was shooting up the rail. He was held correctly accountable. He very nearly whipped war of will across the nose. He probably figured nobody would ever DQ a Kentucky derby winner. That puzzled look on his face while they were waiting says it all. Guilty as charged!

Paths or Lanes in horse racing are theoretical.There is no such thing as an absolute lane. Every sport has that gray area and it is wrong for the official to overreach his position to determine the outcome. Let them play and let the horses run!!

Sorry to those who believe Maximum Security won fair and square but I've watched the video over and over. There is a point when Maximum Security is throwing his head which indicates to me he is fighting the rider. The jockey appears to have intentionally moved the horse in a blocking motion.

He did not hang in there but faded, so there was no consequence of Maximum Security's stepping into other lane.

That's a supposition, with no way of verifying it, not evidence

If any thing was committed it was the horses behind him who knew that the lead horse was swinging wide in the slop to lead the other horses out wider, but the jockey's behind him couldn't catch him so it just so happened they forced out the 2 and that horse was impeded and had to slow up. If there was any objection, it was with the 2nd place and the 3rd place horses who pinched out the 2 horse. I've seen this play done a lot of times with bad muddy condition. The horses who ran 2nd and 3rd those jockey's should have been suspended too. I would like to see Maximum risk run in the Belmont, just to prove that he a winner.

The only place i see this!?

Mott didn’t win the Kentucky Derby, he was awarded it.

In general if a horse costs another horse(s) a placing then of course it must be disqualified behind every horse who suffered the consequences, and especially in a race like this where 3rd place is worth $300, 000. I have looked at this video at least 20 times and although the 7 definitely came out a couple lanes, the 1 never checked once and continued to push the horse so I am not sure if this was a good dq. What is not mentioned in situations like this is the serious amount bettors lost and/or won when this happens. It had to be in the millions of dollars lost/won. Hopefully people did not mortgage their homes for this. I had a feeling a long shot would win so the only wager I made was on the Oaks/Derby double.

1:49 lol

when in the turn you can see jockeys hips turning trying to get maximum back in lane.. . No malfeasance indicated

the right call . but the jock made no attempt to keep max. sec. in lane . it seems to me the jock tried to get too cute and drift out and got burnt. he should get fined and get days.

They made the right decision no doubt in my mind.

Next, there are going to put lane markers on the track for horses to be disqualified if they get out of their lane. In which this race for dq will still be wrong as there were no lane markers. I'm done with horse racing. Smh...

There's no way that should have been a disqualification, a racing incident and that's all. They got that wrong and the world knows it.

SO RIGHT! ALMOST A DISASTER WITH THEIR FEET CLIPPING.

This was a good call, and it came so close to the two horses getting tripped up, and with all the bad press about Santa Anita, this could have been a disaster. 18 HORSES behind them and jockeys, this could have been a death pile up. The conditions made the jockey mistake worse, and 3 year olds are too young to race with 20 horses.

I totally agree. Maximum Security would more than likely have held off War of Will, but since MS caused him to check up to avoid a spill, a DQ had to happen. It sucks that the best horse doesn't get the win, but it's a DQ everyday of the week.

BS, Maximum Security won this race he was the best horse out there. You guy's forget why fans watch this sport, and it's definitely not due to the political correctness of the clowns who made the decision to DQ the winning horse.

georgiamule You don’t know horses. That is not what happened. MS spooked to outside while changing leads prematurely, lost momentum, and almost overreacted back to the inside. It had nothing to do with Saez. According to the jockey and trainer of COH, COH got a clean trip. There was no threat to MS. He was always going to win the race, and won going away even though his spook slowed him down momentarily.

If you think horse racing is on the level you're kidding yourself. So many horse races have been fixed over the years it's all a club between Jockies, owners, trainers and the mob.

I remember a Belmont Stakes where the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner led the entire race, until during the final stretch. He was passed. No Triple Crown. Wire to wire wins in horse racing don't happen as often as you seem to think.

Jockey knows what he did. See it all over his face.

Even back in Caveman days, it was known that one horse could get ahead of another...

Watch MS ears perk up as he approaches the shrubs, he notices them and veers off to the right. There isn't a horse out there that won't spook at something he's seen a million times. If you've ever been on a horse, at any speed, you'll have to make corrections to help them stay "straight". His concentration was definitely broke during that last stretch while he was looking. I think he's still the winner, I could see Valor coming on quite aways back and wanted to see him make a charge for the lead. It made for an exciting end, I don't think the call was correct to DQ MS though.

Dean, all horses move during the race in different paths to attempt to gain a better position. They're not supposed to stay just in one path the entire race. The difference is that the horse is allowed to do so only if clear of other horses.

The truth about the whole scenario. Is that the horse was spook and lost momentum and still win by two length. Wrong judgement by the stewards. Great job to the jockey. That was the best in the field. Shame do cause the owner would of get. First and second place. The horse was jinx.

Horse's will be horse's. Maximum Security was in the lead. The horse in second was obviously not going too be able to pass and take the lead. The horse that crossed the finish line first *WON* Edit: God awful call!!!
