Two horses, Rodriguez and Grande, have been scratched from the Kentucky Derby field for Saturday.

Rodriguez, a Bob Baffert horse, was withdrawn on Thursday. That allowed Baeza to enter the race.

This morning, Grande was removed from the field by veterinarians due to a foot issue. That move reduced the racing field to 19.

Here’s a look at the updated field:
