The owners of Maximum Security plan to file an appeal with the Kentucky Racing Commission contending their horse should be declared the rightful winner of the 2019 Kentucky Derby, owner Gary West told the Today Show on Monday.
Maximum Security will also skip the Preakness, West said.
"We are going to file an appeal today with the state racing commission," West said. "Right after the race I had the trainer call the stewards and very nicely ask them if they would be willing to be visit with us after the races were over. I said we'll stay here until 11, 12:00 at night, whatever you want, and they said, absolutely not, we won't be showing the films until Thursday.
