Purple Egg and Falling Sky, among the favorites in the $100,000 Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, have been scratched from the race due to as-of-yet unknown reasons.
For Purple Egg, who was unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old, this marks the second time in two weeks that he has been scratched from his expected seasonal debut. On January 1st, he was scratched from the Gulfstream Park Derby after coming down with a mild illness.
Falling Sky, a 6-1 shot on the morning line, was entering the race off of a sharp victory in an allowance optional claiming race at Gulfstream in December.
The scratch of Purple Egg leaves the coupled entry of Dynamic Sky and Sky Commander as the likely favorites.
