Mmmm, on the tape, it looks like Maximum Security bobbed and weaved a bit on two different crucial occasions down the stretch but slightly I'd say. Plus, Maximum Security was leading throughout most of the race. I'm not an expert, but I don't think it was the horse's fault. Maybe the jockey should be fined, but it's a very close call and a harsh call to strip Maximum Security of the win, therefore I have to say,
DISAGREE (although I might feel differently if I knew more about the disqualified jockey's career and all of the horses' overall performances this season)
