Likely favorite Eskendereya is out of the Kentucky Derby.
Trainer Todd Pletcher pulled the 3-year-old colt out of next weekend’s race due swelling in his left front leg.
Eskendereya stamped himself as the horse to beat after romping to wins in the Fountain of Youth and the Wood Memorial by a combined 18 lengths.
He was scheduled to work at Churchill Downs on Sunday morning, but Pletcher opted to keep the muscular chestnut colt in the barn while sending his other Derby entries out on the track.
