(LEX 18) — Along with derby horse Rodriguez, the Kentucky Derby reported that Grande has also been scratched from the race on Saturday.

On Thursday, the Kentucky Derby reported that Rodriguez, trained by Bob Baffert, had been scratched out of an abundance of caution, according to the Managing partner of SF Racing with Team Baffert Tom Ryan.

Ryan says that the "very tough" decision was made due to Rodriguez having a "small but slightly sensitive" foot bruise that needs a few more days to heal.

Plans are being reset, and Ryan says they will target Rodriguez for the Preakness.
