Puma Scratched From Kentucky Derby
Horse Silent Tactic was scratched from the Kentucky Derby due to a bruised foot. Renegade is the morning line favorite at 5-1 from post position one, and So Happy is at 6-1 from post position eight. The Puma has been scratched from the race. The Colts will attempt to be the first horse to win from this position. The event can be watched on WVL TV 11. Leading contenders include Renegade, Commander, and Further Ado. The last horse to win the Triple Crown was Justify in 2018. The Kentucky Derby is taking place this Saturday, the first Saturday in May, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Renegade is considered the favorite among a field of trainers who feel the competition is wide. The decision follows a diagnosis of a leg infection hours before the scheduled race. The competing field is now reduced to 19 horses.
