Bill Mott is being interviewed - his horse second, but, frankly, his came in from the outside, too. So he needs to be quiet. As much as I love Bill Mott.
Very happy for this horse and his jockey.
The best horse won, and I hope they leave it that way.
I was most nervous for no. 18.
Nope, War of Will had a ton of time and room to get over it
:eek:DQ! country house wins!
Wow. Not the kind of history anybody expected to witness today!
Oh, No!!:mad:
Can somebody explain in more detail the DQ? Iām new to racing and donāt quite understand- are they dqād if they spook?
OMG they actually disqualified Maximum Security. You have got to be kidding meā¦looks like no Triple this year. I donāt even want to watch the Preakness right now Iām so mad

MS spooked out, impeded a couple of horses, which the stewards concluded was enough to cause CH to be unable to cross the line first. (I.e., if this had not happened, CH would have won it.)
Wow, canāt say I agree, but the stewards have spoken I guess. I hope they take Maximum Security to the Preakness and Belmont.
Ugh Iām really offended by that decision. DH knows even less about horse racing than I do and so is he. I feel very sorry for MSās connections. They were definitely robbed.

But at least it looks like all the horses came home ok? I didnāt see anybody pull upā¦

Total and absolute bullshit decision.
Best horse won.
Give the jock a fine and suspension for riding, but you canāt take the winner down if heās much the best.
Joke shop.

Now I need to see the replayā¦
Agree - always liked Bill Mott, but would never want anyone to win unfairly this way.
Again, CH also came in around the turn. He hadnāt run a clean race either.
Feel tike the entire afternoon was a waste of time. Good way to kill horse racing interest as well.
Maximum Security deserved to be the winner.
