War of Will trainer Mark Casse accused Maximum Security’s jockey of intentionally trying to block other horses.

“I tried to handle this in a nice, quiet way, and I didn’t think there was enough said about the trip our horse had,” Casse told the Courier Journal on Tuesday. “Now, given some of the recent comments, I’m pissed off.” “I think when it’s all said and done and all the evidence is put on display, frame by frame in slow motion, you will find that the 1 horse actually caused the infraction, not our horse,” West said. “And ... I believe it will eventually show that if the 1 horse would have finished ahead of our horse, we would have had every right in the world to claim an objection against the 1 horse.”
While stewards didn’t immediately post an inquiry sign to investigate the incident, Country House jockey Flavien Prat and Long Range Toddy jockey Jon Court both filed objections. While looking at still photos from the race, Casse said Saez – while riding the rail – looks over his right shoulder in attempt to block oncoming horses while entering the final turn.
