Quality Road and Square Eddie Out

We've had two Derby contenders drop out in as many days.

Quality Road trainer Jimmy Jerkins said yesterday that his colt will not run in the Derby on Saturday due to complications with the quarter crack he sustained late last week. He does, however, expect Quality Road to return, and is likely aiming at either the Preakness or the Belmont. Either way, a horse of that caliber, with several weeks off, might be bad news for anyone looking to find his way on the Triple Crown trail.

Also, I saw on ESPN News this morning that Square Eddie will not run on Saturday due to a "recurring shin injury." Certainly a tough break for him.
