Great White Enters Derby After Silent Tactic Scratched With Foot Bruise

Silent Tactic, winner of the GIII Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park, was scratched from the Kentucky Derby due to a bruised foot, clearing a spot for Great White to run in the field at No. 21. Great White, owned by Three Chimneys Farm and trained by John Ennis, previously won Turfway Park’s John Battaglia Memorial and finished fifth in Keeneland’s Toyota Blue Grass Stakes. Meanwhile, My Miss Mo was withdrawn from Friday’s Kentucky Oaks with no reason given.
