Check this blog daily for all the latest updates on Kentucky Derby contenders and other news as the Run for the Roses is now just 18 days away.

Trouble afoot: San Felipe runner-up Jaycito is listed as doubtful for Saturday’s Lexington Stakes at Keeneland. The colt has been battling a bruised foot that already forced him to miss the Santa Anita Derby two weeks ago. His only start this year came on March 12 — meaning if he misses his final prep, he would head to the Derby off an eight-week layoff — and he hasn’t worked since April 2. A final decision is expected tomorrow from trainer Bob Baffert. Jaycito had been scheduled to fly to Kentucky on Tuesday, but his travel plans have been delayed until at least Tuesday.

In he goes: Tampa Bay Derby winner Watch Me Go, who had been on the fence, will indeed run in the Kentucky Derby, says trainer Kathleen O’Connell. The homebred son of West Acre finished sixth last out in the Illinois Derby, causing his connections to have doubts about sending him to Kentucky, but he’s bounced back well in his training. The colt will work at Tampa either tomorrow or Thursday before vanning to Kentucky for one last work.

Florida trio: Kentucky Derby prospects Dialed In, Soldat and Pants On Fire all appeared on the track galloping Tuesday morning at Palm Meadows. Soldat, winner of the Fountain of Youth, is set to breeze Thursday and Louisiana Derby winner Pants On Fire will work Saturday. The two will share a flight to Louisville together on April 30. Florida Derby winner dialed In will breeze late next week.

Oaks watch: Fantasy winner Joyful Victory vanned from Oaklawn Park with trainer Larry Jones and arrived at Churchill in the late afternoon. Jones trained 2008 Oaks winner Proud Spell and Derby runner-ups Hard Spun and Eight Belles.

Notes: Trainer Peter Miller plans to put Santa Anita Derby runner-up Comma To The Top on a Tuesday flight to Kentucky. … Another horse who appears to be on the fence is multiple stakes winner JP’s Gusto; the colt is convalescing on a farm in Kentucky, but his connections will make a final decision later this week on if they’ll van him back to Churchill Downs to run after all. … Thanks to the uncertainty surrounding Jaycito, Santa Anita Derby also-ran Anthony’s Cross is back in consideration for the race if he can get in; he’ll likely fall short of the earnings cutoff.
