With the Kentucky Derby only five days away, I have some sad news. The early favorite, Eskendereya, was scratched from the race yesterday making this the second year in a row the early favorite has been scratched from the race. Last year, it was I Want Revenge scratched the very morning of.
He was withdrawn because of a slight swelling in his left front leg.
"He has a filling from his ankle to his knee," trainer Todd Pletcher said at a news conference at Churchill Downs. "The horse isn't lame. I wouldn't call it that. He's not uncomfortable; he's slightly off. His last couple of gallops have not been up to par. We're hopeful that this is not career threatening. We'll do further diagnostics and see."

Really hoping this isn't career threatening and Eskendereya is back and better than ever soon.
