President Donald Trump has long lamented the rise political correctness. In fact, years ago he went so far as to tweet that its killing our country. <\/p>\n
Now, he says the best horse in the Kentucky Derby didnt win because of it: <\/p>\n
He was talking about how Maximum Security, the initial winner, was disqualified after officials ruled the horse interfered with the others in the final leg. The ruling allowed second-place finisher and extreme longshot Country House to win. <\/p>\n
It was the first time in the Kentucky Derbys storied history that a winner was ultimately disqualified for such an infraction. <\/p>\n
Trump wasnt the only one who had a problem with it. Maximum Securitys co-owner told The Associated Press the disqualification was egregious and that he might opt to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n
As for Country Houses trainer, he didnt like how it went down either. <\/p>\n
I feel terrible that I have to apologize for winning, Bill Mott said, according to the Washington Post. I really feel terrible for the connections, for the owners. I hate to sit there and apologize and, you know, saying something as foolish as, Im sorry I won, because I dont want to give [the owners] the impression that Im unhappy with winning.<\/p>\n
