Forida Derby Great Prep

The Florida Derby on Sunday is shaping up to be quite a race with lots of legitimate Derby contenders including Soldat, the morning line favorite and To Honor and Serve. Keep your eye on one of my favorites Arch Traveler who is making a huge move up in class but whose connections feel he can run with the best. This is the time of year to run big or go home!

It is race 12 on Gulfstream's packed card--Nicanor is running earlier in the day so should be an exciting day of racing! Just one more reminder that May is closer than our current weather in the northeast would have us believe!
