Trainer Bob Baffert said Monday morning that Stonerside Stable's Congaree emerged from Sunday's workout in good shape and appears to have no problems associated with a minor quarter crack of his left rear hoof.

As a result of the quarter crack, Baffert pre-entered Congaree in both the Breeders' Cup Classic – Powered by Dodge (gr. I) and the breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) as a precaution. Baffert said later that Congaree would only run in the Classic if the quarter crack healed satisfactorily.
