Thanks Steve.

Do we still have a sloppy track for today? Turf?

This is very disappointing because I was going to play against him.

Bummer news - I personally know a couple dozen people who are not having a good time this morning hearing this news.

Wow...two years in a row the perceived favorite doesn't make it to the gate.

I was really looking forward to seeing him run. Oh well, at least this didn't happen the morning of the Derby.......

Terrible news. I thought this was a very special horse and was very much looking forward to his performance next week.

Wow on Eskendereya. Uh oh on Endorsement. Getting left in the barn on the day of a scheduled work can't be a good thing this close to the race.

something says "karma" about the whole Zayat bankruptcy thing. I think he's a good horse.

Maybe 150k earnings might make it after all. Nothing like a Derby full of allowance horses.

sorry to hear this, but, for me it will be a much better betting race now. I liked ESK but was not looking forward to betting 2:1 in a 20 horse field.

I was really looking forward to betting him at 2-1. That would have been a huge overlay in my opinion. Now the race is wide open.

I am particularly sad as I think this horse may have been something special and now we may never know.
