Kentucky Derby favorite out of Triple Crown races




Vindication, the unbeaten 2-year-old champion and the son of Seattle Slew, strained a ligament in his left front leg and will miss the Kentucky Derby and the other Triple Crown races.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Vindication was the early favorite for the May 3 Derby after winning all four of his starts.

The colt will also miss the Preakness on May 17 and the Belmont Stakes three weeks later. The hope is for Vindication to be back for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in August.

I was listening to Glenn Beck just now and he said that they've raised the terror alert to High. I haven't seen this anyplace else yet. Apparently there is an extreme amount of "chatter".

Anyone else know anything?

Oohhhh - From that brief description, I'll bet Vindication bowed a tendon - not a good sign for his future racing career.
