Trainer Bob Baffert says Justify is doing well and is still on track for the Preakness after the Kentucky Derby winner was treated for a bruised heel on his left rear foot. Baffert says Justify was irritated by some gravel on Sunday morning outside the barn at Churchill Downs after winning the Derby on a muddy track. On a conference call Thursday, Baffert said that Justify’s feet were tender following the race but added the problem is behind him after quick treatment.
