Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Bill Mott gave the traditional day-after interview to the media on Sunday, but the 2019 edition involved questions on the disqualification of Maximum Security, which elevated Mott's pupil Country House to victory in the 145th Run for the Roses.

Also included are interviews with Mark Casse, whose War of Will was cut off when Maximum Security shied over, and Shug McGaughey, whose Code of Honor was elevated to second via Maximum Security's disqualification.
