Maximum Security has won the 145th Kentucky Derby.
Next up for Maximum Security is the second leg of the Triple Crown: the Preakness, on May 18. A win at Pimlico Race Course would put the Triple Crown on the line in the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park on June 8. A win in both of those races would make him third Triple Crown winner in the last five years and the second straight winner of horseracing's most prestigious honor after Justify won it last year.
It was an unusually eventful Derby week, with the big shocker the scratch of the 4-1 morning-line favorite, Omaha Beach.
