Win Willy out of Derby with possible ankle injury
Rebel Stakes winner Win Willy is out of the Kentucky Derby. Trainer Mac Robertson scratched the 3-year-old colt from Saturday’s Run for the Roses after X-rays revealed a possible crack in the horse’s left front ankle. Win Willy burst onto the Derby scene in an upset at the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn, knocking off Old Fashioned as a 56-1 longshot. He finished fourth in his last start in the Arkansas Derby.

I Want Revenge made early 3-1 Derby favorite
I Want Revenge has been made the early 3-1 favorite for the Kentucky Derby, with Pioneerof the Nile and Dunkirk sharing second-favorite status in the full field of 20 horses. I Want Revenge is coming off eye-catching victories on dirt in the Gotham Stakes and Wood Memorial at New York’s Aqueduct after leaving California and the synthetic surfaces there. Trained by Jeff Mullins and ridden by 19-year-old jockey Joe Talamo, I Want Revenge drew the No. 13 post position Wednesday.
