Maximum Security wins the Haskell Invitational

Maximum Security won the $1-million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., and, unlike the Kentucky Derby, survived a steward’s inquiry.

It capped a long day that included a major delay triggered by intense heat and the safety concerns for the horses and riders that led to the cancellation of six races. Racing resumed around 6 p.m. EDT.

Maximum Security and jockey Luis Saez and Mucho Gusto and rider Joe Talamo charged around King For A Day, who was on the rail, around the far turn.

Maximum Security was in the middle lane with Mucho Gusto on the outside. As they turned for home, Maximum Security seemed to put King For A Day and jockey John Velazquez in tight quarters.

The only question was whether Maximum Security committed a foul.
