Practical Move OUT of derby

**Easy-Rider 66** · 05-04-23, 01:10 PM

Trainer Tim Yakteen plans to scratch Practical Move from the May 6 Kentucky Derby (G1) after the Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner showed an elevated temperature May 4 at Churchill Downs.
With the scratch, Albaugh Family Stable's Cyclone Mischief will draw into the field and break from the outside, post 20. He will race as program number 21.

Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. had already planned to scratch three horses entered today and this weekend at Churchill Downs but intended to keep Lord Miles in the Kentucky Derby (G1). The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission changed that plan the afternoon of May 4 when it announced all the trainer's horses would be scratched "effective immediately and until further notice.

Is this just for his horses in Kentucky or every track?

Churchill Downs has banned the trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. for an “indefinite period,” citing the sudden deaths of two of his horses over the past five days at the track. The announcement came 30 minutes after Kentucky stewards said that Joseph had agreed to scratch all of the horses he had entered at Churchill, including Lord Miles, who was entered in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby.
