Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott has won the Kentucky Derby but still hasn't had a horse cross the Derby finish line first. That's because in 2019 the Jason Servis-trained Maximum Security crossed the finish line first but was disqualified for interfering with another horse around the far turn. That elevated Mott's Country House to the win. On Saturday, the 69-year-old Mott will try to win the first leg of the Triple Crown in a more conventional manner.
