I'm not knowledgeable about Kentucky Derby, but weren't the other horses that were impeded way back in the race? At least one would have come in 17th but instead came in 16th, and the other was 7th or thereabout. Wasn't Country House number 2 at the finish? Seems like a justifiable win in terms of the foul and CH being in second place. But again, I know nothing about horse racing.
Feel free to set me straight. I got all my info from online news.
I'll be rooting for Country House next. I love an underdog. After all, I'm Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
