Something to keep an eye on. From horseracingnation.com

The 2019 Kentucky Derby favorite Omaha Beach received a fresh patch Sunday morning on a lingering quarter crack on his left-front, trainer Richard Mandella said, that formed coming out of the colt’s Feb. 2 maiden win at Santa Anita Park.
Since then, the son of War Front has won both the Rebel Stakes (G2) and Arkansas Derby (G1).
“Now it’s a little over two months old, that patch,” Mandella said at Churchill Downs. “So I brought my blacksmith, Ben Craft, here from California.”
Craft, who also did the original work on Omaha Beach’s quarter crack patch, called this "routine maintenance." The colt received new shoes Sunday as well. Now, “We’re ready to go,” Mandella said.
