Grande has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby, reducing the field for Saturday’s 151st edition to 19 horses.

With two contenders scratched, Baeza is in the race and faces stiff competition from Journalism, to whom he was second in the Santa Anita. Here's what Baeza has to do.

Grande, who was going to participate in the Derby from the 10th gate, is a late scratch for the event, becoming the second horse to be scratched just days ahead of the race. On Thursday, Rodriguez was also scratched despite drawing into the field.
