He lives in a house , very big 🏠in the country 🎶 it’s all a Blur.
None of the horses died? That’s a positive thing. Remember that one year, when the winning horse died just moments later, before it could make it to it’s own victory ceremony? That almost ruined the damn derby.
No, that was Eight Belles( 2008) , who finished second and broke her leg.They put her down on the track, I believe. The 2006 winner Barbaro was injured during the Preakness two weeks later, but didn’t die at the event itself.
Country HoRse? Isn’t it Country HoUse? Like the big gold letters say in back of the reporter?
The first thing they teach you in Journalism school is to get the name right. CBS gets an F for such an obvious flub!
Not to mention he said he veered to the right when he actually veered to the left
Getting the name correct is the least of the concerns in this age of red baiting, fake, propaganda journalism.
He SPOKE the name correctly, its the idiot that posted the video title that got it wrong.
The jew news can’t even tell the truth when they try.
+The American Soccer Guy He went right first, than back to the left. Did you even watch the video?
I don’t care what people say maximum security was the better horse country house is like someone driving around looking for the right kinda car accident to have to claim insurance money….. so sad for maximum security owners they have been in derby 40 years this would have been their first win dumb decision and shame on sore losers of country house
Interference is interference, end of story.
Dancer’s Image was disqualified in 1968 but only three days after the race.
Ray Gordon Teaches Chess that’s correct
Horses are not allowed to veer three lanes over and almost knock down four other horses without being disqualified. In any other race he’d have come down within a minute. The stewards made the correct call.
Greg Long wasn’t bs. It was the right call
This is like a NBA game
I thik ur right about this one. Fixer and bogus
Maximum Security probably wishes NFL referees were calling this one.
Probably wishes it was a NASCAR race, rubbing is racing.
+Richard Murray, Jr. To a point… Watched a winner at Bristol once get disqualified for wrecking the leader on the last lap. Can’t block or rub cars below the yellow line.
SeaMonkey137 you know nothing about horse racing
SeaMonkey137 unless it’s a review against the Broncos
Where was it? I didn’t see anything
There were other horses coming on strong towards the end, too. The Preakness and Belmont stakes will be interesting for sure!
Sign of the times..
When a million or two dollars is on the line….they’re going to look at everything, especially when a horse going 35mph is knocked sideways. Maximum Security could have caused War of Will to go down taking out everyone behind him….horses crashing to the ground at 35-40mph…….would be a disaster far worse than Eight belles. PETA would have had a field day had War of Will gone down.
Flavian Pratt should be suspended for his lying and frivalous foul claim.
jesusisnotallright s where he lie….
He had to take his horse wider around the turn to avoid getting bumped. Country House actually covered more ground than Maximum Security and he still ran a great race, despite having to run farther.
Jockey is a complete fool.
When asked for his thoughts about the situation, Maximum Security had no comment.
Maximum Security got penalized for merely taking a turn too wide. What’s next, a horse being disqualified for running too fast?
steve boone watch the reply….you can’t interfere like that….sorry you know nothing about horse racing
steve boone you have never watched horse racing
+Adam i have watched hundreds of horse races and seen deliberate dirty tricks pulled by the winners and only a handful of them were given the heave ho. Every horse on that field a couple of days ago ran a clean race but it was maximum security who got disqualified for taking a turn a little bit wide and it forced him into the path of a competing horse. The thing I want to question is whether or not the horse that was interfered with was forced into that position by the horses surrounding him.
steve boone oh man you really haven’t watched horse racing
Maximum Security got robbed.
What is worst for Horse Racing is the connections that the owner of Country House has to Horse Racing. Sure both owners are rich but Country House owners husband Joseph V. Shields was huge in Horse Racing and Maximum Security was just an owner.
I hope Maximum security runs the Preakness and smokes all of them again.
Strange Days let’s see he do it without interfering in others paths
They’ll find ways to get that horse disqualified. Face facts, once they get a horse disqualified they ensure that same horse remains disqualified.
steve boone um false. You are just using your emotion and logic and reasoning
Well, I’d like to see him run the same race without knocking his competition sideways…..fair and square.
Maximum Security should have double dribbled instead. They would never call that.
Steve Ramey —. Wahoowa!
I gotta say no one is gonna respect C.H.’s win. Had there been no contact. C.H. would most likely have finished 3rd.
INSANITY.. on a sloppy track… INSANE
Imma give the mic back in a minute but I jus wanna say Country House has the best album of all times.
maximum security will win the preakness n belmont!!! show them who is boss!!!
