It was only 19 lengths which is pretty amazing and shows us all how bunched up all the horses were coming around the final turn into the stretch. To me, this adds more credence to the fact the interference of Maximum Security should have been overlooked. The stewards should have put track conditions in the equation too. Very narrow minded decision.
But we'll have to accept it and more on, like it or not.
Does anyone have the link to what Bafferts comments were on the race and finish? I saw he had some but lost the link. Thanks much.

No one ever calls an objection in the Derby,” Baffert told me Sunday afternoon, by text. “It’s always a roughly run race. Twenty-horse field. I have been wiped out numerous times, but that is the Derby. I can see by the book why they did it. But sometimes you’ve got to take your ass-kickings with dignity.”
