Trainer Brad Cox has Essential Quality and Knicks Go entered in the $6 million race. Also in the field is Hot Rod Charlie, who finished third in the Derby and second in the Belmont. Embattled trainer Bob Baffert has eight pre-entries for the two-day world championships, including three in the Juvenile.
