Maximum Security Continues to be Overshadowed in Investigation

Last May, Maximum Security crossed the wire, and it seemed like he was on his way to greatness. Minutes later, he was taken off as the winner, replaced by a huge longshot, and put in 17th. After a hiccup in the Pegasus, he won the Haskell, Bold Ruler, and the Cigar Mile in 2019. In 2020, former trainer Jason Servis wanted him to run in the first running of the Saudi Cup, with a purse worth 20 million dollars. Maximum Security dominated the race, winning the race easily. He was finally in greatness once again, until Jason Servis was indicted on charges related to "administer adulterated or misbranded drugs that were administered to racehorses." Once again, Maximum Security was questioned if he was really the great racehorse he was. Did he deserve every win with the effort that he put in, the resilience he put in. And, how long will this great racehorse be put in the dark, when he is one of the most talented horses of the decade. A great due of this is because of Jason Servis pulling Maximum Security out of the Preakness, Belmont, and Travers. Was it really due to injury concerns? Or were there other factors involved. We might never know, but Maximum Security will have a lot of proving to do in his 4 year old campaign. This could also potentially cost Gary and Mary West millions in studding Maximum Security. Time will tell if Maximum Security is truly the amazing racehorse we expected at the Derby.
