Peter Fuller, the only owner of a Kentucky Derby winner to be disqualified after finishing first, died on Monday at the age of 89, according to multiple reports.
Fuller, a New England car dealer whose father was a United States Senator and governor of Massachusetts, was the owner of Dancer’s Image, who won the 1968 Kentucky Derby but was disqualified from the race after postrace drug tests revealed the presence of phenylbutazone, the popular painkiller, which, at the time, was illegal to appear in postrace tests.
