DERBY NEWS (4/25): Eskendereya out; Lookin at Lucky new fave..
 

Eskendereya won't go out today again and Endorsement, who was supposed to at least gallop, was left in the barn as well.

D. Wayne Lukas had Dublin work before 6am going 5f in 1:02.4.

Thanks Steve.

Do we still have a sloppy track for today? Turf?

Todd Pletcher will conduct a media briefing at 9:30am to detail Eskendereya being declared from the Derby..

another Derby favorite out?

Eskendereya out?
 

Announcement forthcoming......

This is very disappointing because I was going to play against him.

The string of luck at CD continues for TP

Bummer news - I personally know a couple dozen people who are not having a good time this morning hearing this news.

Wow...two years in a row the perceived favorite doesn't make it to the gate.

I was really looking forward to seeing him run. Oh well, at least this didn't happen the morning of the Derby.......

Wow and for all the **** I took about this horse and his condition. And he isn't even going to run.

Terrible news. I thought this was a very special horse and was very much looking forward to his performance next week.

Favorite out again.

Wow on Eskendereya. Uh oh on Endorsement. Getting left in the barn on the day of a scheduled work can't be a good thing this close to the race.

I think TP's gonna get his KD anyway this year...just a guess.

something says "karma" about the whole Zayat bankruptcy thing. I think he's a good horse.

The Pre-Derby favorite black cloud strikes again. Remember I Want Revenge.

Maybe 150k earnings might make it after all. Nothing like a Derby full of allowance horses.

sorry to hear this, but, for me it will be a much better betting race now. I liked ESK but was not looking forward to betting 2:1 in a 20 horse field.

I was really looking forward to betting him at 2-1. That would have been a huge overlay in my opinion. Now the race is wide open.

I am particularly sad as I think this horse may have been something special and now we may never know.
