Injury officially ends Eskendereya's career

[NTamm1215]

The only question of course is where he's standing...

Eskendereya in Lexington for diagnostics

The connections of Eskendereya hope to know more about his leg injury on Friday, trainer Todd Pletcher said. The Giant’s Causeway colt was withdrawn from the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) on April 25, when Pletcher and his staff detected filling in his left front leg. The dominant winner of the Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2) and Wood Memorial (G1) Stakes, Eskendereya would have been a strong favorite in the Derby.

“The horse is in Lexington and they’re expecting some results later, maybe [Friday],” said Pletcher, the trainer of Eskendereya for Ahmed Zayat’s Zayat Stables. “[Zayat] anticipates being able to make some sort of announcement, hopefully in the next day or so.”
