LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Six months after the controversial finish at the 145th Kentucky Derby, a federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit contesting the disqualification of Maximum Security.
The owners of the horse, Gary and Mary West sued the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission after stewards ruled the horse interfered with others.
The pair of owners argued that the process was unconstitutional.
Country House, the horse, who finished second, ultimately was named the winner after Maximum Security was disqualified in the 145th "Run for the Roses."
