Post-race analysis of the Kentucky Derby
- Thread starter John Kelly
- Start date
Maximum Security remains undefeated with a wire-to-wire win in the Kentucky Derby.
Luis Saez with a masterful ride.

Saez is a 26-year-old Panamanian.
OBJECTION.
Saez aboard Maximum Security swerved out dramatically at the head of the stretch.

These were my big bets:
Tacitus 10:1 (went 5:1)
Game Winner 8:1 (went 6:1)
Roadster 20:1 (went 11:1)
Omaha Beach 12:1 (was 4:1 and scratched)
War of Will 30:1 (went 16:1 and got cutoff)
Those were my big bets. Such terrible luck

We have a change in the order of finish.
The first-ever disqualification involving the first-place finisher (edit) in the history of the Kentucky Derby.

It took more than 20 minutes to make the decision.

Terrible decision. This wasn't an inquiry; it was a claim of foul. The 1 may have been fouled, but the rider didn't claim foul. The 20 was never bothered, and never should've been put up.
When I see it taking time, I'm thinking those corrupt bastards want to put Mott up. And they did.

Not sure if this is accurate? I believe Dancers image was Dq in 1968, for failing a post race drug test.
Are you sure?

Another great call, BIrdie.
Last DQ was 1984 involving Gate Dancer.
First-ever DQ involving the first-place finisher of the Derby.
HORSE RACING DODGED A BULLET.
We could have seen a catastophic scene at the head of the stretch.

Dancers image won the Derby but was later DQ'd after failing a post race drug test.

Would you like to revise that statement? I figured they were not going to change it either

Next year why don't they have the horses all go out and run alone on the track and have these clown stewards watch and time each of them. Once all 20 have run the stewards can tell you who wins the Kentucky Derby. Because obviously the concept of deciding shit on the field doesn't apply to horse racing's biggest event

Its a bullshit sport, made possible by addcits. Greg Wry said many of those Santa Anita deaths are because vulnerable horses are entered for hope of death and an insurance claims

Just Like N.F.L, NBA, Officials on controversial calls.
They put you in a Dark Room, until the coast is clear.
You can't ask them with a microphone in front of them on National TV, about their decision.
Remember when Jim Gray stuck a microphone in front of Pete Rose on National TV, and asked " Pete, Did you bet on Baseball "
That's OK.
Just don't dear think about it when it comes to Professional Sports Officials.

If that hadn't been the Kentucky Derby, the dq would have been almost immediate. Great job by the rider to avoid a multi horse pile-up due to the lead horse drifting out in front of another; dq was an easy decision for all but the blind!

Santa Anita stewards would have allowed the original result to stand.
And therein lies one of the many problems with the sport.

When handle is off 10% next year I can't wait to hear them interview the officials so they can tell you they don't care about the money. But inside they will be firing everyone involved in this. Give the win to a horse only the owner and trainer would bet on is really going to f up the industry.

I’d be willing to bet handle isn’t down 10% next year.
