Maximum Security was the first horse to cross the finish line at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. However, he was soon disqualified after an objection was risen from the owners of Country House.
Specifically, the objection was raised for alleged contact at the right turn, where Maximum Security appeared to veer out of his lane for a brief moment before his jockey, Luis Saez, brought him back to his lane.
