After an inquiry, Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Stewards determined that Maximum Security drifted towards the outside nearing the 5/16-pole while leaving the final turn and meaningfully impacted the progress of War of Will (crossed the finish line in 8th), and, in turn, interfered with Long Range Toddy (17th) and Bodexpress (14th). As was typical procedure for an interference disqualification, Maximum Security was disqualified from first and placed 17th behind the lowest-placed horse that he interfered with, Long Range Toddy.
