Haikal has a foot abscess; Derby status uncertain

If He scratches how does that effect the PP?

I would think the one hole would be vacated rather than the twenty hole.

But - and perhaps you\'ve noticed this - racing doesn\'t always do the logical thing.

Privman on Twitter said the 1-hole will be left open in a 19-horse field. Who\'d a thunk it? Logic prevails.

They have left the 1 hole open in past when they got down to 19 horses.
