Louisiana Derby runner-up Ketchikan is lame in his left front foot, which could knock him off the Triple Crown trail. The colt’s owner, B. Wayne Hughes, said the 3-year-old son of Mr. Greeley was sent to Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington Monday to be evaluated by Larry Bramlage, DVM, Dipl. ACVS.

Al Stall Jr. trains Ketchikan, who has won two of his four career races and has earned $175,000.
