Kentucky Derby verdict upheld in Dancer's Image case
Franklin Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the Kentucky Racing Commission and ruled Dancer's Image did win the Derby but the purse was denied due to phenylbutazone in the colt's system. Peter Fuller, owner, calls the decision costly and vows to press on, while opponents dispute the outcome and note the change in 1968 rules allowing two winners only affects payout timing. The horse remains at Frederick Maryland with mares among the field.
