Man that sucks, Ben Colebrook did a wonderful job with this guy. $1.8 million and 4 graded stakes wins, and wasn't showing signs of slowing down.

Unless the horse just doesn’t like taking dirt, I agree it was shockingly bad. I’d love to see his Trakus numbers.

I think the ambulance had less ground lost.

Thank god I bet Country House two months ago in a moment of complete stupidity. Would have never bet him today.

He traveled 103 more feet than Maximum Security. Mind boggling...

Jesus. And he was only 4 lengths back?

I knew they’d take him wide but that’s just ridiculous.

At first I was like 'oh they'll never take him down, this is nonsense, I can't blame Flavien for trying cuz it's the Derby but...' Then the other angles where you could see how much Maximum Security came out and how close War of Will came to going down. We nearly saw a terrible tragedy.

War of Will could've gone down in front of most of the Derby field. Someone could've died but sure, save the drama.

Here's one screen capture of what Maximum Security's coming out did to War of Will as he was moving forward. Credit: NBC's coverage, captured by @RussellKline1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5xSBd8UcAAJQKH.jpg
