Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 4, 2019 Journalists Share Posted May 4, 2019 In one of the most shocking occurrences in GI Kentucky Derby history, front-running and previously unbeaten Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) was disqualified after a lengthy objection, and 65-1 longshot COUNTRY HOUSE (c, 3, Lookin At Lucky–Quake Lake, by War Chant) was moved up to first in the 145th Run for the Roses. Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) inherited second, and Tacitus (Tapit) completed a 1-3 finish for Hall of Famer Bill Mott. Maximum Security, who set the pace but drifted out around the bend and appeared to interfere with multiple rivals heading for home before splashing away to a clear-cut victory, was moved all the way back to 17th. He had stopped the clock in 2:03.95 over the sloppy going. Country House, a ‘TDN Rising Star’, was most recently third in the GI Arkansas Derby behind scratched would-be favorite Omaha. Lifetime Record: 7-2-2-1. O- Mrs JV Shields, Jr., EJM McFadden, Jr & LNJ Foxwoods. B-J Shields Jr (Ky). T-William I Mott.
