Practical Move was scratched from the Kentucky Derby on Thursday due to an elevated temperature.

Trainer Tim Yakteen announced the news ahead of Saturday’s 149th running of the event in Louisville.

Cyclone Mischief, the third-place finisher at the Florida Derby, moves into the field and will run from post 20.

Practical Move won the Santa Anita Derby and the San Felipe Stakes earlier this year.
