Breaking Down The Controversial End To Derby 145

It was a historic and controversial end to The Kentucky Derby 145 as the first horse to cross the finish line did not win the race for the first time ever.

Country House was declared the winner after what seemed like an eternity of the stewards reviewing footage, over Maximum Security. Many race fans felt the best horse did not win this year.

Just talked with Maximum Security's trainer, Jason Servis, and owner, Gary West. Both indicated that they will purse any available appeals to protest the disqualification of their horse.
