Ascot today, it's often the graveyard of favs (first one just bolted in).

RIP Bart Cummings

true racing legend unsure how many Melbourne cup victories he had as a trainer I am thinking 10
big loss to the racing industry 87 years young

Controversy at the 145th Kentucky Derby.

Maximum Security becomes to first horse in the race's history to be the first to cross the finish line but not win the race. Stepped out of his lane on the final turn and disrupted other horses, thereby disqualifying him.

Country House, one of the biggest underdog champs in the race's history at 65-1, claims victory.

The horse still probably thinks he won though!

It didn’t look like he did enough to be disqualified in my opinion.

Terrible conditions to consider too. Hardly ideal for keeping the horse on a straight line.

Jockey said the horse got spooked by the roar of the crowd right at the turn, so that's why it veered right. Tough decision to make all around, glad I didn't have to make it.

Gordon Elliott seems like an absolute idiot

Never heard of him but he's finished
