7- 7- 7
Number 7 Perfection
7th race to win
7th time to be at the track.
Maximum Security wins.
My very close family friend and Army Colonel Read will be presenting Ms. Farmer whose military husband died; she is presenting the winner roses at the winner circle of Kentucky Derby.
Kentucky Derby - winner in question.
Maximum Security’s win is in question.
Need to watch the feet. He crossed lanes, but Maximum Security was strides ahead. His horse was spooked a little and the pocket pulled the horse back, but horses claim they were impeded.
NEVER in horse racing history has the winner been changed.
Maximum Security was disqualified.
And Country HOUSE 65 to one is declared the winner.
This is horrible. 65 to 1.
He did not win outright!!!!!!
He won with a disqualification. The result is changed because of a disqualification.
He was clearly a horse length and because of objections and ridiculous disqualification a horse that had NEVER won before is declared the winner.
The winning status was stolen from the clear winner. First time to happen in Kentucky Derby History and a big race.
No one cares to give the Kentucky Derby award to a person who clearly did not win the race. This is ridiculous and ruins the spirit of the race. Maximum security was clearly the winner and did not run a ugly race. He held his horse after it was spooked by the crowd and pulled back to control his horse. This is so very sad that a loser (Country House) is made a winner.
The winner is disqualified for winning.
The crowd is booing!!!!!!
The owner says you DON’T want to win like this. YES, no one wants to win as backing into the victory.
Flavien Prat was NOT the winning jockey. The win is based on an assumption that he maybe would have won if Maximum Security was not there.
But reality is a hard fact.
MAXIMUM Security was in the race and he WON by over a horse length. The were robbed. This ruins 165 years of wins.
Now is time to dig. IF this has never been done what is the angle.
The best horse in the race – the clear winner – is disqualified, and not for doing anything intentional. Why didn’t they listen to his testimony?
I will be digging.

Anywhere there is major money…. there is room for evil, power, corruption… gambling brings out the corrupt.
Laugh if you want but JUSTIFY won last year in a triple crown and it was the time for Justice.
And all in life is to be taken into consideration. Especially when huge money changes hands.
