Four years ago owners Gary and Mary West won the Kentucky Derby... until they didn't. In 2019, their Maximum Security crossed the finish line first in a wet Derby but, after a 22-minute review, was disqualified for interfering with another horse. The Wests, whose horses have earned more than $42 million under their ownership, had their only Derby victory seemingly taken away. On Saturday, they'll look to finally take the Derby trophy home.
