Country House, 65-1 Long Shot, Wins Kentucky Derby After Historic Disqualificati

Maximum Security was disqualified for impeding the path of at least one other horse in the Kentucky Derby. Country House won the race, which was started at 65-1 odds. It's the first time a horse has been disqualified in Derby history. It was also a bittersweet victory for co-owner Maury Shields, whose husband died last year. He had served on several racing boards and was a founding member of the National Thoroughbred Association. The horse that crossed the finish line first was the favorite. Code of Honor finished second and Tacitus took third.
