Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has announced where his pair of 'TDN Rising Star' 3-year-olds McKinzie (Street Sense) and Justify (Scat Daddy) will make their next starts. GISW McKinzie, disqualified from first and placed second in a controversial renewal of the GII San Felipe S. last weekend, will stay in Arcadia for the GI Santa Anita Derby Apr. 7. Justify, unbeaten in a pair of attempts, will head to Oaklawn for the following weekend's GI Arkansas Derby. “It could change, but that's the plan right now,” Baffert told the LA Times.
