The commission’s letter to attorney D. Barry Stilz, who filed the appeal of behalf of owners Gary and Mary West, also denied a request of a stay of the disqualification ruling pending appeal because the law does not provide for an appeal.

Racing stewards disqualified Maximum Security to 17th place and elevated Country House to first after an objection filed by two jockeys. Stewards determined the impeded the paths of several horses in the race.

Maximum Security is the first Derby winner disqualified for interference in the race’s 145-year history.
