It was announced Wednesday that Kentucky Derby contender Crown of Thorns has been sidelined with a leg injury, essentially removing him from the May 3 Run for the Roses. Trainer Richard Mandella said the colt injured his left shin on Monday and he's worried that if he continues to race the injury will only lead to bigger problems down the road.
The good news is that with plenty of rest, Crown of Thorns is expected to make a full recovery and may be back at the racetrack running at full speed later this season.
Crown of Thorns earlier this month won the Robert B. Lewis (G2) Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
As it stands, here are your Top 10 Kentucky Derby Contenders:
