Country House has now been vindicated
I guess it was fantasy land to turn a $16k maiden claimer into a KY derby winner.

I thought Country House was always the deserving winner, no matter what Maximum Security did after the race.

Huh?
Maximum Security was the best 3 year old in the US in 2019.
End of story.
He also has the distinction of being first past the post in the Kentucky Derby,
and then trained on to perform at a high level afterwards.
Those colts are a rare commodity in recent decades.

Missed the news today I guess.
In other news, Lance Armstrong is the greatest cyclist of all time and Barry Bonds the real home run king.

Ditto, Lance Armstrong. One of the best doping cyclists in the world.

Oh, no that is Maximum House.

How does today's news relate specifically to Maximum Security?
He had to be tested up the wazoo all last year.
Btw, was Big Brown stripped of his roses title in 2008?
I must have missed that as well.

I guess you didn't read the indictments. Maximum Security was named specifically as a horse that was drugged.

I've seen the allegations.
Let me know when indictments become convictions.
Thanks.

To be fair to Lance, it sounds like ALL cyclists dope lol. So he was basically still the best. Not sure if that's the case with horses

93% conviction rate. If they are smart they are working on pleas to avoid very long incarcerations.

Let me ask you this.
On the first Saturday in May 2019, how many of the 20 horses
that went to post for the KY Derby ran the race with zero enhancers?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Country House was "vindicated". He still lucked out either way. He managed to cross the wire in front of other horses exactly ONCE in his life. Even the much maligned Giacomo and Mine That Bird got to the finish first more than he did.
