INTERVIEW – JACOB BOGAGE – Sports writer, Washington Post
- KENTUCKY DERBY: For the first time in the history of the race, the horse who crossed the finish line first at the Kentucky Derby was disqualified for interference and stripped of his title. On Saturday, Maximum Security won America’s most famous race on the track. Until he didn’t. Country House was declared the winner after racing stewards ruled that Maximum Security interfered with other horses. The colt’s owner is still considering an appeal.

- Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 17h17 hours ago: The Kentucky Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough & tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby – not even close!
