The Mike Moroney-trained Quarterbar, the final runner to make the eighteen horse field for the Queensland Derby, has been scratched due to a tendon injury.
Moroney reported to stewards this morning that the son of Oratorio would be scratched.
He was a $21 chance with TAB Sportsbet.
His scratching enables first emergency From London to gain a start.
The heavily supported The Chevron remains stranded outside the field, needing one more scratching to force his way into the field.
If that fails, the $8 shot will instead run in the Brisbane Cup.
