The Puma scratched from Kentucky Derby due to leg swelling from skin infection
The Puma, a horse trained by Gustavo Delgado Sr. and Jr., was scratched from the 152nd Kentucky Derby scheduled for Saturday due to swelling in his leg caused by a skin infection. The scratch, announced less than 12 hours before post time, reduced the field from 20 to 19 horses. The Puma had been bet down to 8-1 odds and was competing to become the Delgados' second Derby winner after Mage in 2023.
