It’s hard to believe that just 4 ½ months ago, anyone could have had a Kentucky Derby runner for the bargain basement price of $16,000.

Gary and Mary West’s homebred made his first start for a $16,000 claiming price at Gulfstream Park back in December by 9 ¾-lengths and has reeled off three victories since, including the Florida Derby by 3 ½ lengths in his stakes debut, which earned him enough Road to the Derby points to make the starting gate.

The Jason Servis trained-son of New Year’s Day has raised some eyebrows in the way he’s trained, his conditioner choosing to break with traditional gallops on different days that works in favor of his own system involving breezing at the end of long gallops on certain days. Whatever the method, Maximum Security has looked impressive training at his winter base of Palm Meadows.

Maximum Security is currently fourth in the early Kentucky Derby wagering at 8-1. He will have regular rider Luis Saez in the irons on Saturday.
