Country House and War of Will team up to take Maximum Security down in the Kentucky Derby, A Breakdo

Country House, a 65-1 longshot trained by William Mott and War of Will, trained by Mark Casse, team up to take down the heavily favored Maximum Security in a dramatic finish to the 145th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The action unfolds on a sloppy, rain-soaked track, as the 19-horse field breaks from the starting gates. Maximum Security, ridden by Luis Saez, jumps out to an early lead, but his erratic running causes concern, with the colt veering out sharply entering the final turn. "What an embarrassment," an onlooker remarks, as Maximum Security's concerning behavior threatens to derail the entire race. As the field battles through the mud, Country House, piloted by Flavien Prat and War of Will, under jockey Tyler Gaffalione, begin to make their moves. "This horse is coming," the observer notes, as War of Will sweeps around the outside, positioning himself to challenge the frontrunner. Entering the stretch, Maximum Security maintains his advantage, but the charging duo of Country House and War of Will begin to close the gap. "I'm gonna go up Maximum Security's ass, make it look really dangerous," the observer says, as the two chasers make their final push. In a dramatic conclusion, Maximum Security drifts out again, impeding the progress of War of Will and several other horses. "Eat my ass, eat my ass," the observer exclaims, as the incident triggers an inquiry by the stewards. After a lengthy review, the stewards determine that Maximum Security's interference was a violation of the rules and they disqualify the colt, elevating Country House to the winner's circle. "This guy in the black and over yellow, he ends up being the winner, even though he's not the one that got caught," the observer states. Country House's trainer, William Mott, expresses his surprise at the turn of events. "I don't know, maybe I'm just not cut out for horse-racing," he says. Meanwhile, Maximum Security's trainer, Jason Servis, is left to ponder the controversial decision. "Seems like you just boxing someone out, I guess that's illegal," he remarks. In a stunning reversal, Country House, the 65-1 longshot, is crowned the winner of the 145th Kentucky Derby, while Maximum Security, the original victor, is relegated to a disqualified finish. It's a dramatic and unexpected conclusion to the "best race ever," as the observer declares.
