The Wests' appealed to the Kentucky Horse Race Commission last week, but it was swiftly denied, with the organization stating that its stewards' findings as to in-race matters "shall be final and not subject to appeal." They have also asked to have purse money be redistributed in accordance with the original order of finish; the winner's share for the race was $1.86 million, while the jockey and trainer were denied $186,000 each.
