Regardless of the results, Maximum Security remains a rags-to-riches type of story.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe horse who ran first through the finish line and into the center of controversy surrounding this year’s Kentucky Derby is an overachiever.Regardless of posttime odds in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby or how the race finished on the track, his remains a rags-to-riches type of story — given his relatively obscure pedigree and debut in a low-stakes claiming race — that we won’t get to see play out in a run for horse racing’s Triple Crown.
“I didn't think, as a claiming trainer, which I am, that he was that attractive,” said trainer Jason Servis prior to Saturday’s race.His mother is Lil Indy, winner in only two of 19 career starts, one a $10,000 claiming race and the other a $7,500 claimer. “He went from relative obscurity to being one of the best 2-year-olds of his crop and then immediately returned to obscurity,” Waldman said. “New Year’s Day is well-bred himself, being by Street Cry. But he wasn’t a front-runner. He was a closer. So he lacked the early speed that breeders like to see, but they still like to see that he won the best 2-year-old race of the year, and in all rights had he not been injured would have been the early Derby favorite.
