Ussery won two KY Derbys in a row. Not many jocks have done that. Of course they stole one of them when they dq'd Dancer's Image. But he won it on the track and nothing they say or do can ever change that. If you bet Dancer's Image you got paid (9-2 was the price). If you bet Forward Pass you lost.
As I recall, Bute was the issue. It was illegal at the time. The irony is that, by general acclaim, KY is now one of the most permissive states on medication. Unless a horse comes on the track with a syringe sticking out of his flank, he's probably good to go.
