They kissed me up, but that call stunk. 19 hoss field in the mud is gonna produce contact. Gafflione had no business making that move. He was up his asss the whole backstretch too.

I was against it (the DQ) before I was for it. Still hate that it happened at all.

One the most obvious fouls I have ever seen.
Still can't believe they really did it in the Derby. Kudos for doing the right thing no matter what.

This is why we need more 5 horse fields!

Can I get odds on whether fpsoxfan will bet a horse race before August?

Nice score Alabama!

Shouldn't have come down imo. How many horses have
been taken out in the first turn and nothing happens
Maxium Security was the best horse especially being attacked on the
front end with fractions of 22.31 and 46.62 and still won by almost 2 lengths

Who really knows if he was the best. I thought WOW looked like he was about to blow by him until the foul.

That said, I was impressed with Maximum Security. I thought he was a fraud and I was wrong.

I had a nice 5 dollar exacta MS to Country House, along with being singled to him in the Pick 4, Oaks Derby Double, thank god Code of Honor didn't finish 2nd or would have had the Tri as well, this one stung and still stings. If I had the 2nd or 3rd place horse and not MS and they didn't make a change, I honestly would have understood, considering it was the derby, the change really hurts overall, it won't kill the sport, but it will shy away some casual bettors, like my buddies who bet occasionally, when I explained to them the DQ and the money it cost me and others, they sounded like they did not want any part of horse racing.

That being said, i'm still sour, and have no desire to watch or play the Preakness or any races, but like the degenerate I am, I'm sure I will be back.
