Kentucky Derby Stunner: First Finisher Maximum Security Disqualified; Country House Wins
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (CBS) -- Country House won the 145th Kentucky Derby on Saturday after Maximum Security became the first horse to be disqualified in the history of the storied race.
Maximum Security crossed the finish line first but there was an objection on the field and the horse in second place, Country House, was declared the winner.
After deliberating for nearly 25 minutes, three stewards determined that Maximum Security strayed from his lane before being clear of another horse, impending War of Will, causing horses to nearly collide.
