OCEANPORT, N.J. — Maximum Security is heading back to the races.

The colt, who two months ago crossed the finish line first in the Kentucky Derby only to be disqualified, was among six 3-year-olds entered Thursday for the $150,000 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park on Sunday.

“The horse had a really good day today and I don’t see a reason why we shouldn’t run,” trainer Jason Servis said of the 1 1/16-mile race.

Maximum Security drew the No. 2 post position and was made the overwhelming 1-2 favorite. Luis Saez is back in the saddle.
