With or without Jaycito, the $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 9 is likely to have a large field.
As of Wednesday, there were 11 probable starters for the West Coast's leading prep for the Kentucky Derby, a list that tentatively includes Jaycito, the winner of the Grade 1 Norfolk Stakes last year and the runner-up in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes in his 3-year-old debut on March 12.
Trainer Bob Baffert emphasized his position on Wednesday that Jaycito would start in the Santa Anita Derby or the $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct the same day, with a decision expected this weekend.
"I'm still contemplating what to do, whether to ship or not to ship," Baffert said. "The plane leaves Monday and I've got until then. If I run one, it will be Jaycito."
The list of probable starters include Anthony's Cross, Bench Points, Celestic Night, Comma to the Top, Indian Winter, Mr. Commons, Offlee Wild Boys, Premier Pegasus, Quail Hill, and Silver Medallion.
