now joining us exclusively is the owner mr. ry west. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> before we get into the nitty-gritty here, i just have to ask you, as somebody who has been in the horse racing business for a long, long time what it felt likhi to t you had won the derby and then to have it taken away. how is that moment for you? >> it was literally like the old tv show the thrill of victory t and agony of defeat, all within a io22-minute perof time. it was winning it was the most euphoric thing i have ever had in our lives and disappointment when they took the horse down to for the first timen history. i couldn't -- we were stunned, shocked and in tot and complete disbelief. it had never been done before. >> as it stands this morning, are you planning to appear o file legal action?

where are you on that issue? >> we are going to file an appeal today with the state racing commission. we right after the race i had the trainer cl the stew wards and very nicely ask them if they would be willing to visit with us after the races were over. we said we'll say here until 11:00, 12:00 at night whatever you want. they said absolutely not. we won't be showing the films until thursday. so we didn't really have any alternative legally other than to be, the appeal has to be filed within8 hours. so we'll be filing that today. d> gary, craig melvin here. as i understan it, the racing commission, they're in kentucky. the language is important. dey say the findings of fact andermination shall be final and shall not be subject to appeal. it doesn't sound like they're going to allow an appeal. wh is going to be the basis there? >> well, it's obviously you can't appeal it to the stew wards who made the decision.

it's a state racing commission refuses to hear about it. i think this is something tbit's enough that the entire racing world is looking at this i think they deserve an opportunity to really know what was going on. i was a bit shocked and surprised that the stew wards wrote a statement that was probably prepared by their lawyers and refused, literally refusedo take a single question from the media. so they have been as non-transparent about this whole thing as anything i've ever seen in my high. >> when you look at the video. we will play it for our viewers. you can see maximum security slight over three lanes and make thatontact with another horse? do you see that? >> i obviously saw the horse move out. but in the kentucky derby where you got 20 horses and you

shouldn't have0 horses in the kentucky rby. churchill downs because they're a greedy organization let in 14 like you have in the kentucky oaks, the breeders cup, every other race in america just because they can make more money, they're willing to risk horse's lives and people's lives to do that i'm not aha fan of t i think you ought to have 14 like every other race. yes, i saw the horse move out. every kentucky derby you can set down two or three hses if you wanted to, it's like a rodeo out there. >> you just said you did see the move, so if it's, the rules are the rules. theituation at the derby was 19, 20 horse that situation just on the merit, if there is a move and tre is a foul, isn't the stew wards, the judge's decision essentially correct, even if you don't like it? well, you know, that is a way of looking at it. the thing that is kind of

mystifying to me as that the stew wards were either looking at a high definition television or with binoculars. our horse was in the lead the entire way around. they looked at what the whole rest of th world looked at and didn't file a stew ward's inquiry. so i can't imagine that it was very obviously to them at the time either. >> really quickly, gary. a rematc is great for the preakness in two weeks. it will be an opportunity to prove that your horse is, in fact, the best out there right now. are we going to see a rematch? are you going to run in the preakness? >> no, we're not going to run in the preakness. >> why not? >> i think there is no triple crown on the line a for us there is no reason to run a horse back in two weeks when you don't have tto. nk you very much. we know it's a difficult time
