Class President To Scratch From Blue Grass

GII Rebel Stakes winner Class President (Uncle Mo) will scratch from Saturday's GI Toyota Blue Grass Stakes.

The news, reported on social media by DRF's David Grening, comes from the colt's trainer Todd Pletcher who is quoted as saying, “Just didn't like the way he went today. Not saying he's off the Derby trail. We'll check him out.”

Class President, who is owned in partnership by WinStar Farm, First Go Racing and the China Horse Club, last put in a recorded breeze March 28 at Palm Beach Downs when he covered four furlongs in :49.49 (11/23).

He currently sits 10th on the Road to the Kentucky leaderboard with 50 points.
