Main article:The Kentucky Derby is only open to three-year-old, thus entrants in the 2019 race were foaled in 2016, mostly as part of the North America foal crop of roughly 22,500.

The field is limited to twenty horses who qualify based on points earned in the, a series of designated races that was first introduced in 2013. This point system replaced the previous earnings system.Most positions in the Derby starting gate are earned on the main Road, consisting of 34 races in North America plus one in. The seven major preps for the Kentucky Derby are the,.

The post position draw took place on April 30, after which Omaha Beach was installed as the 4–1 morning line favorite. However, he was from the race on May 1 due to an entrapped epiglottis, which impaired his breathing. Because of his withdrawal, Bodexpress drew into the field as program number 21.

'This year is different,' said Baffert. 'With Justify and American Pharoah I knew I had the horse and felt like I needed a little luck.

Now I've got three nice horses, and there's a lot of parity. It's wide open.'

Race description A crowd of 150,729 turned out for the Derby. The rain held off until late afternoon, but then drenched the track, turning the track condition sloppy.Maximum Security went off as the second favorite (behind Improbable) at odds of 9–2 based on his frontrunning win in the Florida Derby.

As expected, he went to the early lead, running a very fast opening quarter of 22.31 seconds. Jockey then slowed down the pace, as they completed the half-mile in 46.62 and six furlongs in 1:12.50. As they rounded the final turn, the field began to bunch up as other contenders mounted their closing drives.

With about ​ 5⁄ 16 of a mile remaining in the race, Maximum Security swerved out from the two path (ie, two positions away from the rail) into the four or five path. In the process, he made contact with and also interfered with Long Range Toddy and Bodexpress, causing all three horses to check strides. Saez, who later said that Maximum Security swerved in reaction to noise from the large crowd, quickly corrected course and returned to the two path, bumping Code of Honor who had been gaining ground on the rail. Maximum Security fought back and again drew clear of the field, crossing the finish line first.Meanwhile, Country House had broken from an outside post position and settled into mid-pack, carried three wide around the first turn.

Going into the final turn, he was still in ninth place but rapidly made up ground while again moving wide. He was close to Maximum Security when that horse veered out, and was carried wide by Long Range Toddy. He could not respond to Maximum Security's rally, but held off the rest of the field to finish a clear second. Objections After the race, the jockeys of and Long Range Toddy each filed an objection to the result. The rules of racing in Kentucky provide for the disqualification of a horse if it shifts its position in a manner that impedes another horse, costing the other horse a better placing in the race.

Although Country House was not materially harmed by Maximum Security's swerve on the far turn, at least three other horses — War of Will, Long Range Toddy, and Bodexpress — were severely affected. During a 22-minute review, the stewards determined that 'Maximum Security veered out into the path of #1 War of Will, who was forced to check and who, in turn, impeded #18 Long Range Toddy, who came out into #21 Bodexpress, who had to check sharply, making contact with #20 Country House.' The stewards upheld the objections and disqualified Maximum Security to 17th place, after Long Range Toddy.The disqualification is the first in Derby history to remove the first place finishing horse for an on-track infraction; was disqualified days after the for testing positive for an illegal medication.The ruling proved controversial, with Maximum Security's owners blaming jockey on War of Will for causing the incident. War of Will's trainer, responded that the interference by Maximum Security was worse than he originally thought and that he too would have filed an objection if War of Will had finished in the money. The stewards later issued a fifteen day suspension on Maximum Security's jockey, Luis Saez, for 'failure to control his mount and make the proper effort to maintain a straight course thereby causing interference with several rivals'.It was the first Kentucky Derby win for trainer, who commented that it was 'bittersweet' to win the race in such a manner even though it was normally a routine matter to disqualify a horse for such an incident. NBC analysts Randy Moss and were quick to say they thought that Maximum Security was the best horse and that 'the best horse won'.At odds of 65–1, Country House became the second-highest-priced winner (behind in ) in the 145-year history of the Derby.
