Omaha Beach out!
 

Entrapped epiglottis.
They got him set up for stud in the nick of time, didn't they?

Haikil: Foot Abscess
 

HAIKAl= Foot Abscess :(

Not sure If OUT or Not? :confused:
IF Anyone knows, Please Say

Here's the last info I found. Probably won't get a final decision until they look at him on Friday.

"Haikal, the Grade 3 Gotham winner, has an abscess in his left front foot, putting his status for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby in jeopardy.


Haikal did not train Thursday. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin is hoping to be able to train him Friday.


”We’re soaking it and hoping for the best,” McLaughlin said. “He will train tomorrow and go from there. We’re hopeful, but it’s a tough call.”"

I’ve always lived by this saying and I think it applies to horses

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY :{>:

Nice ML Odds on the favs 5-1 and 9-2 currently but they won't stay there. Max Security and Tacitus now 8-1, also nice odds. I read there may be a third defection.

Hate to see that happen. Something to keep in mind - if there are fewer than 20 runners, I'm pretty sure that gate #1 will be the first vacated, so that the runners will break from gates 2-20, thereby reducing the difficulties that War of Will could have in establishing his position.

Haikal scratched this morning.
All horses move one pp out.
No effect on position numbers.
