The examination discovered an entrapped epiglottis which will require surgery, making the colt a scratch for Saturday's race and the other legs of the Triple Crown as well. The new favorite Game Winner currently sits at 9-2. Improbable and Roadster are both at 5-1 in what should be a wide open Running of the Roses.
James Harden received better news--his corneas are all right. He and Kevin Durant are prop bets in the First Game of the GridCard which also includes MLB and NHL games and finishes up with the Raptors @ 76ers on Sunday.
