Kentucky Derby Hopeful Sidelined with Injury
Considered to be one of the top contenders for the Run for the Roses, Crown of Thorns will miss the big race due to a sore left shin.
Crown of Thorns, who earlier this month won the Robert B. Lewis (G2) Stakes at Santa Anita Park, will be forced to withdraw from the 2008 Kentucky Derby scheduled to take place at Churchill Downs on May 3, 2008. Trainer Richard Mandella confirmed Wednesday that the colt's left shin is sore and he's worried it may be the start of a stress fracture.
"He'll be out a couple of months," Mandella said.
Mandella has never won the Kentucky Derby before and must now rest his hopes on Into Mischief, another B. Wayne Hughes' owned horse and winner of the $750,000 Cash Call Futurity.
