Throughout the week leading up to the announcement of the 2010 Kentucky Derby post positions, several Kentucky Derby contenders & favorites were scratched. Just hours before Wednesday's post position draw, Sunland Park Derby-G3 winner Endorsement [15/1] suffered a non-displaced lateral condylar fracture of the right front ankle during a workout Wednesday morning.
Make Music For Me will be replacing Endorsement as the 20th Kentucky Derby contender with Graded Stakes earnings totaling $218,750. Make Music for Me was bred in Kentucky by Richard Shultz and is owned by Ellen and Peter O. Johnson. His pedigree is Bernstein and Miss Cheers by Carson City. Unfortunately this will be his first start on dirt. Bet on Make Music For Me with 40/1 odds at Bodog!
Also on Wednesday morning before the announcement of the Kentucky Derby 2010 post positions, trainer Todd Pletcher decided he would not enter Interactif in the race. This left the door open for one more Kentucky Derby contender, Backtalk, son of Smarty Jones. Not giving up, Backtalk worked five furlongs in 1:01 3/5, galloping out six furlongs in 1:14 4/5 last Sunday with jockey Miguel Mena. Will he be the long shot surprise in the Kentucky Derby field. Bet on Backtalk with 40/1 odds at BODOG.com!
