It's breaking news on ESPN News, but not reason is listed. Hope they carry the press conference.

Interesting. Hopefully the horse is OK. I wonder if he was caught milkshaking the horse.

What a God Damn joke. 9:00 sportscenter and sports center news and not a mention of it (but I didn't honestly expect them to pick the story up). The best is TVG showing a preview of the Derby featuring I want Revenge. Then they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

Oh Yeah, and this really F's up my betting plans.

I think the most likely winner, and the likely runner-up, will be in their stalls when the gates open.

The Bloodhorse article just said a physical problem. I hope the horse is alright.

Yup.

I went from being extremely interested in this race to caring very little.

Dunkirk you better be a hero.

Well - my gimmie I Want Revenge over Quality Road exacta with a long gap back to 3rd from ten days ago is going as swimmingly as my Rachel Alexandra over Justwhistle Dixie exacta with a long gap to 3rd went yesterday.

3 of the 4 scratched!

I didn't see that in his post. I suppose you think it's a good derby?

The Racing Gods won't let me get my money

I work all day and don't get paid , Gimmie MY MOney! like my man archie shepp says

pamplemousse- no shot at superfecta would have been less than 10-1

quality road - would not have won and less than 7-1

IWR - would not have won and been a co-favorite

Friesan Fire - my choice for months , all the so called expert clowns underestimating him, now everyone picks him
