Email Bio Follow May 7 at 8:04 PM LOUISVILLE — Already gobsmacked by something unprecedented — the first disqualification for interference of an apparent Kentucky Derby winner — the horse racing industry figures to reach another unprecedented juncture soon enough.
This past Saturday, an unbeaten Maximum Security bested 18 rivals wire-to-wire, establishing himself as an elite runner — and a wow of a story who went unclaimed even at $16,000 in December — before three Churchill Downs stewards made a disqualification widely understood within the industry. Stud-wise, he might end up a bit of a marketing puzzle — dissimilar to, say, the breezy marketing involved in the term “Kentucky Derby winner.
Peter Bradley of Bradley Thoroughbreds noted that in the “fascinating industry that I am in, it’s like Greek and Latin to everybody outside the industry.” Still, on the breeding charts, “There isn’t an asterisk that says, ‘He was the best horse and, oh by the way, he got disqualified.’” He concluded: “It’s not a tremendous effect. I’d say it’s more like a 10 to 20 percent effect, and not a 50 percent effect.”
“If he did the same thing as American Pharoah and Justify,” Bradley said, “he still wouldn’t be half their value because of his pedigree, but it certainly would increase.”
I thought it a mistake to skip the Preakness. This horse could win both the Preakness and the Belmont with only a foul that cost it the triple crown. It’s worth would skyrocket if that were to happen.
I could care less
Horse racing is cruel and unethical. WaPo would write about dog fighting if it were legal.
It won't. He was astonishing. He had a lot left at the end. I'm sorry he's skipping the Preakness.
Not the horse’s fault. Blame the jockey.
why its complicated?

How Maximum Security's Kentucky Derby disqualification affects his stud valueMaximum Security wasn't supposed to be this good, and that could impact his breeding value far more than the Kentucky Derby controversy. The Racing industry needs far more emphasis on the actual racing than on the breeding shed.
