'Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur,' said the president.
Nearly everyone who watched Saturday's Kentucky Derby race had some sort of opinion on whether or not Maximum Security, the horse that finished the race in the lead, should have been disqualified. That included President Donald Trump, who used his sizeable Twitter platform to express his disappointment with the Derby's outcome.
Maximum Security, who had not lost a race going into Saturday, was the presumed winner immediately after the completion of the Derby, but the result was immediatley called into question. After a prolonged review by race officials, it was determined that Maximum Security should be disqualified, even though the horse's actions did not appear to directly impede the horse who finished in second place. That horse, Country House, was then pronounced the official winner of the Derby.
The next leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, is set for Saturday, May 18. The final race, the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, New York, will take place Saturday, June 8.
