Stanford scratched, Frammento enters Derby (Reuters)
(Reuters) – Stanford, a 30-1 pick for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, has been scratched from the race that kicks off the Triple Crown for 3-year-olds, race officials said on Thursday. Stanford, the Louisiana Derby runner-up who was to start from the 11th position at Churchill Downs, will be replaced in the 20-horse field by Frammento, rated 50-1 in early odds. Trainer Todd Pletcher said Stanford’s connections had been unsure about starting the horse in the Derby.
