The updated Kentucky Derby field and post positions after one horse is scratched

There's been a change to the 2024 Kentucky Derby field.

Encino was scratched from Saturday's highly anticipated Triple Crown race due to injury.

Trainer Brad Cox said Encino didn't look right following a training session Tuesday morning. Encino was transported to an equine hospital in Lexington, where the colt was diagnosed with a soft tissue strain in his front right leg.

“He galloped first thing this morning, he looked amazing. That’s what’s so confusing,” Cox told the Daily Racing Form. “He was traveling as well this morning as he was all last week leading up to his breeze.”

Encino, who boasted 20-1 morning line odds, was set to race from the No. 9 post position. But, following the scratch, a new horse has drawn into the field.

Here's an updated look at the horses competing in the 150th Kentucky Derby, along with their post positions:
