Express Train a Late Scratch From the Breeders' Cup Classic
Express Train, the 4-year-old son of Union Rags, was scratched from the Breeders' Cup Classic this morning. He was placed on the veterinary "injured" list on Thursday, due a a hock injury; but it was hoped he would recover quickly and be able to race today. The vet staff would not approve him to race today, and he is scratched. That leaves 8 entries in the Classic.
