It didn't come without controversy, but Country House took home the roses.

Maximum Security led for the majority of the race, though the bay colt came from behind late to grab an apparent victory. However, the jockey of the unofficial second-place finisher Country House, Flavien Prat, objected to contact made by Saez. 

A lengthy review followed, and ultimately, the ruling came down that Saez impeded the path of War of Will.

As a result, Maximum Security was disqualified, giving Country House the victory in horse racing's biggest event.

Prior to this year's race, no Kentucky Derby winner had ever been disqualified. 

It was a stunning turn of events, as Maximum Security (9-2) was among the pre-race favorites. On the other hand, Country House was one of the biggest underdogs in the field:

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Country House becomes the second-biggest underdog to win in the 145-year history of the race:

Country House and Prat will now have the opportunity to make a run at the Triple Crown.

After a 37-year drought, there have been two Triple Crown winners in the last four years. American Pharoah ended the streak back in 2015, and Justify took care of business last year. Of note, Baffert was the trainer for each horse.

While Baffert had three of the pre-race favorites in the field (Game Winner, Improbable and Roadster), he walked away empty-handed this time around. Not only did he fail to capture a sixth Derby title, but it will deny him of an opportunity for a third Triple Crown winner—at least for this year.

The second leg of the Triple Crown will come at the Preakness Stakes on May 18 on NBC, with the Belmont Stakes following on June 8.
