I Want Revenge scratched from the Derby! Saturday morning they found some heat in his left front ankle and while he jogged sound he walked a bit off and they decided with the muddy track to be safe and scratch him. His vet Dr. Foster Northrup said, "He X-rayed normal and the ultrasound was normal. There is no diagnosis at this time. More sophisticated tests will need to be done."
