Hey folks. I’m Dan Wolken, a national columnist for USA TODAY Sports. I’m based in Atlanta, Georgia and have been with USA TODAY for nearly seven years. I cover college sports primarily, but I spent my formative years at Oaklawn Park racetrack in Hot Springs, Arkansas and have always stayed close to horse racing. As a result of that, Kentucky Derby is one of the events I cover so let’s talk about the controversy that happened last weekend with Maximum Security getting disqualified.
