NEW YORK: The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission dismissed an appeal against Maximum Security's dramatic Kentucky Derby disqualification on Monday ...

dramatic Kentucky Derby disqualification on Monday as the thoroughbred's owners raised the prospect of a legal battle for the horse's reinstatement.

It was the first time the horse that crossed the finish line first in the Derby was denied victory because it hindered another horse. Within hours, the KHRC had rejected the appeal, in a letter from general counsel John L. Forgy to the West's lawyer. "There is no Triple Crown on the line for us," said West."There is no reason to run a horse back in two weeks when you don't have to."

Legendary trainer Bob Baffert meanwhile had some sympathy for Maximum Security's connections, telling Sports Illustrated he was unimpressed by those who had challenged the initial result.
