The field for the Kentucky Derby has been reduced to 16 after Finnick the Fierce was scratched on Friday. He's missing his right eye because of a congenital cataract. Monge said trainer Rey Hernandez, who gets aboard Finnick the Fierce for morning workouts, told him he didn't notice any problem. Monge said if he checks out, Finnick the Fierce could be in consideration for the Preakness on Oct. 3. Finnick the Fierce finished seventh in the Blue Grass Stakes in July, his most recent start.
