Nearly everyone who watched Saturday’s Kentucky Derby race had some sort of opinion on whether or not Maximum Security, the horse that finished the race in the lead, should have been disqualified. That included President Donald Trump, who used his sizeable Twitter platform to express his disappointment with the Derby’s outcome.
“The Kentuky Derby decision was not a good one,” tweeted Trump Sunday morning, more than 12 hours after the event had completed. “It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby – not even close!”
Maximum Security, who had not lost a race going into Saturday, was the presumed winner immediately after the completion of the Derby, but the result was immediatley called into question.
