But during Fulleffort’s April 30 pre-Derby jog, the fetching silvery roan, who won the one-and-an-eighth-mile Jeff Ruby Steaks for Cox with a time of 1:49.94, seemed to Cox to be favoring his left hind ankle. A swift subsequent X-ray found a bone chip in his left hind ankle. It will require surgery and will cause the athlete to miss the Derby, the two subsequent Triple Crown races, and the rest of the summer. “Main thing is he’s fine,” Cox said, noting that the surgery would be minor, and that the timing for such a thing was never good. “Easy decision to withdraw from the Derby. We’ll get that cleaned up and hopefully have a fresh horse for next fall.” LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - APRIL 29: Fulleffort trains on the track during morning workouts ahead of the running of the 152nd Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on April 29, 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Fulleffort’s saddle cloth number 20 will be retired. Great White now moves into Fulleffort’s stall 19, and Ocelli, trained by Whit Beckman, pulls into Great White’s outside post No. 20. As per the Churchill drill, Ocelli will run under saddle cloth number 22.Below, the revised field for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. Note: revised post positions appear here in parentheses ONLY for those eight outside horses whose stalls and saddle cloths do not correspond. For the twelve inside horses whose saddle cloths and post positions still correspond, no change is made.

But Beckman improved that possibility by a lot by wasting literally zero minutes collaring leading Churchill rider Tyler Gaffalione, who had been slated on Fulleffort for Cox, to ride Ocelli in the Derby and to saddle up on Beckman’s Friday evening Oaks filly Nycon.
