El Kabeir scratched from Kentucky Derby because of sore foot (The Associated Press)

El Kabeir’s sore foot knocked the horse out of the Kentucky Derby. The gray colt did not have his usual jog on Friday and Justin Zayat, son of owner Ahmed Zayat, later said on Twitter that ”it looks like he might be getting a foot abscess or a foot bruise” in his left front foot. Late Friday afternoon, he notified Kentucky Horse Racing Commission stewards that the horse was scratched. Terranova noticed when El Kabeir took a few cautious steps out of his stall.
