Preakness result hurt West's court case
West already erred by not running MS in the race, but this is the worst possible outcome for him. The horse his horse fouled just won the Preakness. That just undescores that the foul may have cost WoW a place two weeks ago.

Maybe, but WoW won with the bias

I'm afraid it's worse than that. By West's logic, WoW may very well have be denied a Triple Crown opportunity because of the actions of West's horse, and now the only reasonable course of action is for West to be sued for what he has cost WoW's connections.

Stop it. The foul was claimed by Long Range Toddy, not War of Will.

But he was DQ'd for his effect on WOW.
Good point for a court case now.
West may end up getting sued! 
Karma, ba-beeee!

He was DQd for what happened to Long Range Toddy and was placed behind him.

West and his supporters claim that Maximum Security's inclusion in the Twinspires "Bad Luck Board" promotion (refund of win bets up to $10) is an admission of guilt on their part.

When Twinspires makes Bodexpress their next "Bad Luck Board" entry will this mean that Churchill is admitting guilt in his behavior and the assistant starter's actions in the gate?

Yep, agreed; whereas the cry post-Derby was that Maximum Security may have been robbed of an opportunity to win the Triple Crown, perhaps the reality is that War of Will has been robbed of that opportunity.

If WOW wins in the Belmont, if he runs and I would lay odds he will, then he goes in the two out of three record with the note that he was fouled by the only horse DQ'ed in the derby.

Then he can be mentioned in the same breath as Risen Star and Point Given. Of course he is nowhere near as good as those two were.
