Is Texas Red Off The Derby Trail?

[BlinkersOn]

He was one of my favorites for the Derby. He has a bad foot abscess. I'm sorry for the Desormeaux brothers. I think Texas Red had lots and lots of potential.

I saw someone on bloodhorse post a comment about this, but they said it was only a week or two thing. Do you have the link that says he's been withdrawn? I can't find it anywhere.

Saw this on twitter, looks like he may still be under consideration.
