Watch: Maximum Security wins Kentucky Derby going wire-to-wire

Maximum Security win

Maximum Security became the winner of the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday, going wire-to-wire for the win.

The 3-year-old colt got off to an early lead and held off some late chargers down the final stretch, winning with an unofficial time of 2:03.93.

The horse is now a perfect five for five in winning races and has won a pace of one race per month since Dec. 2018, with this being the biggest win of all.

Country House, a 65:1 shot, finished second, while Code of Honor (14:1) finished third.

This is jockey Luis Saez’s first Kentucky Derby win, and a big victory for owners Gary and Mary West.
