Maximum Security, ridden by Luis Saez, finished first in a rainy race to win the 145th Kentucky Derby
Maximum Security, ridden by Luis Saez, finished first Saturday in the 145th Kentucky Derby at Louisville's Churchill Downs.
"This was my dream. I just feel so glad," Saez told race broadcaster NBC. Saez said the horse had a good race until he got to the home stretch and the noise of the crowd of 150,729 fans unnerved the horse."He started getting a little bit scared," Saez said."But then I grabbed him and I controlled him. And I kept fighting because I know he's a real fighter.". Maximum Security is trained by Jason Servis.
