Maximum Security owner to file appeal after controversial Kentucky Derby disqualification

The appeal will be filed Monday, West said on NBC's "Today" show, though Kentucky Horse Racing Commission regulations say “findings of fact and determination shall be final and not subject to appeal.” West did not say whether he would file a lawsuit if the appeal is not accepted by the commission but hinted that it would be a possibility.
Since a Triple Crown is no longer a possibility for his horse, West confirmed that he has no plans to rush Maximum Security out for another race two weeks after the Kentucky Derby. His horse will not run in the Preakness Stakes, set for May 18. Saturday was a long day for West and the Maximum Security team. One of the post-time favorites, Maximum Security was the first horse to cross the finish line Saturday at Churchill Downs.
