"Right to Party was scratched Friday morning, the third straight day a horse has been withdrawn, following Silent Tactic and Fulleffort. The latest change brings Robusta off the also-eligible list, giving trainer Doug O'Neill a second horse in Saturday's race."
"Robusta, a Calumet Farm homebred sired by Accelerate, has only a maiden victory from five career starts. His best race was March 7 at Santa Anita when he finished just a head behind Potente in the San Felipe Stakes at odds of 67-1."
"O'Neill, who won the Derby in 2012 and 2016, also will start Pavlovian, who won the Sunland Park Derby and was second in the Louisiana Derby."
Right to Party was scratched from the Kentucky Derby, marking the third consecutive day of withdrawals. Robusta, a horse trained by Doug O'Neill, moves off the also-eligible list to take his place. Robusta has one maiden victory from five starts and previously finished close in the San Felipe Stakes. Cristian Torres will ride Robusta instead of Emisael Jaramillo, who is committed to another race. O'Neill also has another entry, Pavlovian, in the Derby, which features several Southern California horses.
