Another of the favorites to win the 2010 Kentucky Derby has been pulled. This time it is Endorsement. He is the Sunland Derby winner.

Endorsement was pulled from the race because of an ankle injury while another contender, Interactif, won't be entered.

The pre-race favorite, Eskendereya, was removed from consideration Sunday by trainer Todd Pletcher because of swelling in his left front leg.

BetUS.com had Endorsement among the single digit favorites at 8/1 odds prior to today.
