Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 17, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 17, 2019 Dual Grade I winner Maximum Security (New Year’s Day) has been ruled out of an expected start in Saturday’s GI Pennsylvania Derby due to a large colon nephrosplenic entrapment that developed after the colt returned from his morning work Monday. He was rushed to Mid-Atlantic Equine Clinic in Ringoes, N.J., but is now back at Servis’s Monmouth Park barn. “I’ve spoken to the Wests and they understand that it’s all about the horse. That’s first and foremost,” said trainer Jason Servis. “There’s nothing that anyone could have done to prevent it. It’s one of those things that just happens. It’s unfortunate and the timing is terrible but that’s horse racing.” Maximum Security breezed three furlongs at Parx in :41.77 Monday morning without incident, but Servis was summoned to the barn at 3:30 p.m. because something was amiss with the bay. “He was doing great,” Servis said. “But, as soon as I saw him I could tell he was in trouble, so we got him right on the van and sent him to Mid-Atlantic Clinic.” Servis does not have a time frame for Maximum Security’s return to racing, but is holding out hope for the Breeders’ Cup or “something else that might be out there.” The post Maximum Security Out of PA Derby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
