The competition for Not That Brady in the Withers has thinned in the past week, as two contenders have dropped out..

For the second time in a week, a major contender has been withdrawn from consideration for Saturday’s Grade 3, $250,000 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct.
Le General, who has won two New York-bred races by a combined 10 lengths, came out of his last workout with a sore suspensory in his right foreleg, according to majority owner Jeffrey Kallenberg.
Le General might have inherited the favorite’s role following the news last week that Mind Control, winner of the Jerome on New Year’s Day and last summer’s Grade 1 Hopeful, would skip the Withers to await the Grade 3, $300,000 Gotham Stakes on March 9.
Those defections leave the Withers with a likely seven-horse field.
