Saints make quiet comment after Kentucky Derby replay finish

Whoever runs the New Orleans Saints social media account deserves a raise. They were quick on the trigger following a controversial finish to the 2019 Kentucky Derby, in which replay review ruled that Country House, not Maximum Security, was the winner: the derby stewards found Maximum Security had committed a disqualification during the run. Some bettors were livid, others were ecstatic, and many viewers were simply content to see the rules enforced correctly.

And the Saints took notice. A quiet comment fired off from their official Twitter account immediately after Country House was announced the victor, featuring a single emoji representing a person inspecting something with a monocle.
