The final result was shocking...last night, I was very upset with the DQ. However, in the light of a new day, after having read so much from so many, watching videos, and viewing photos, sadly I have to agree with the DQ. Mostly, but for the Grace of God, War of Will managed to avoid falling, and there was no tragedy from this race.

The worst part is for the connections of Maximum Security, incredibly sad and a punch to the gut. The best part is everyone came home safe.

A different angle of the “incident”, pretty shocking to watch:

First of all, I blame those responsible for not prepping the track properly. It wasn't raining at the time of the race. How can a horse in the lead interfere with those behind him? At the first call Maximum security was in the lead and never looked back.
Furthermore, the horse is not a human being but he's sure smarter than human beings. Why? Simple...he saw a pool of water and jumped away from it because it scared him. Humans would just run into the pool of water and drowned
