Kentucky Derby 2026 shaken as The Puma withdrawn late, leaving 19 horses and changing race expectations

The Kentucky Derby will run with 19 horses after The Puma was scratched due to a swollen leg. The decision came just hours before race time, leaving no chance for a replacement. Trained by Gustavo Delgado Sr. and Jr., The Puma was a strong contender. With multiple scratches this week, favorite Renegade now leads a reshaped field.
