ELMONT, N.Y. -- Buddha, the Wood Memorial winner who turned up lame and was scratched from the Kentucky Derby the day before the race, could resume training by the weekend and will be pointed to the Dwyer Stakes on July 7, trainer James Bond said.

Bond said the injury was just "a bad, bad bruise" of Buddha's left front foot. On Monday, Buddha underwent a nuclear bone scan at the Rood and Riddle equine clinic, which revealed nothing. Buddha was vanned from Lexington to Bond's Saratoga barn on Wednesday.

Bond said he would soak Buddha's foot for a couple of days and that the horse could be back in training by the weekend.

Buddha's major goal for the summer is the Travers at Saratoga on Aug. 24. Bond said he would point Buddha to the Dwyer Stakes at Belmont and then the Jim Dandy on Aug. 4 at Saratoga.

"It wasn't meant to be," Bond said of the Derby. "At the end of August, hopefully, we'll be the ones smiling."
