The disqualification of Kentucky Derby winner Maximum Security hasn’t ended the frustration over the Triple Crown race. One trainer’s anger is only intensifying amid Maximum Security’s team defense of the horse.

Mark Casse, the trainer of War of Will, which was involved in the interference that led to the disqualification, went at Maximum Security’s jockey Luis Saez, and believes he intentionally blocked other horses. He said the horse ran like a “drunk driver.”

“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 said Tuesday, according to the Courier Journal. “Now, given some of the recent comments, I’m pissed off.”

Casse was responding to Maximum Security owner Gary West accusing his horse’s jockey, Tyler Gaffalione, of initiating the problem. West also said he plans to file a lawsuit.

“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 [War of Will] actually caused the infraction, not our horse,” West said on Fox News, which led to Casse’s anger. “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.”

After winning the race by 1 3/4 lengths over Country House, Maximum Security was knocked down to 17th following the disqualification. The race stewards ruled he affected the progress of War of Will, who then was forced to interfere with Long Range Toddy and Bodexpress.

“He carried everybody out intentionally, and then he dives in,” Casse said. “It’s almost like following a drunk driver. You don’t know which direction he’s going to go. … People were taking shots at Tyler, saying he should have went inside or should have went outside. That really upset me. I went back and watched the entire race and noticed that we were bothered not just in the main event, but we were herded prior to that.”
