Last two Kentucky Derby winners scratched from Breeders Cup due to health issues
Sovereignty and Mystik Dan, the last two winners of the Kentucky Derby, have both been scratched from their scheduled Breeders' Cup races this weekend.
Sovereignty, this year's Run of the Roses and Belmont Stakes winner, was officially scratched on Wednesday after catching a fever. He had been the early 6-5 favorite to win the $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic.
It was announced earlier Saturday that the winner of last year's race, Mystik Dan, would no longer run in the Dirt Mile, where the purse is $1 million, due to a flexion in the left ankle.
The Dirt Mile field features White Abarrio, who won the Classic and Whitney in 2023.
The post time for the Classic is 6:25 p.m. ET, and the dirt mile is an hour and 20 minutes after that.
