Stanford scratches from Derby, Frammento gets in
Barbara D. Livingston Stanford, shown training at Churchill Downs on Wednesday, will await the Preakness or Peter Pan Stakes.
Stanford has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby, allowing Frammento to get in, according to trainer Todd Pletcher, who said he just called in the scratch to the stewards.
Pletcher said Stanford would await the Preakness or the Peter Pan Stakes.
All horses outside of Stanford move in one spot in the starting gate. Frammento will get post 20.
Tale of Verve is now the lone also-eligible left. He needs a scratch by 9 a.m. Friday morning to get in.
