There is commotion at Churchill Downs. The rumors came true this Saturday morning when Veterinary Doctor Nick Smith, of the Kentucky Racing Commission, checked the horse Forte, first favorite for the Kentucky Derby (G1) this Saturday May 6th.

After the pre-race regulatory checkup, vet Smith told trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole that Forte cannot participate in the rose race.

In this way, the son of Violence that Irad Ortiz Jr. would ride is officially off the payroll and the positions are up for grabs once once more. Number 23, King Russell, now he will start in 18th place.
