The first Saturday in May is reserved for the Kentucky Derby, but this Saturday at Gulfstream Park could be a preview of horse racing's biggest event of the year with the top two three-year old thoroughbreds in the nation facing-off against one another in this year's $1 million Florida Derby.
Mohayman is the top Kentucky Derby favorite according to his +250 futures odds with BetOnline and he opened as a 1/1 even money favorite to win this Saturday's main event at Gulfstream. The three-year old Kentucky-bred colt comes into this race with a perfect 5-0 record. Nyquist is listed as a +500 second-favorite to win this year's "Run for the Roses" and his opening betting odds to win the Florida Derby were set at 6/5. This three-year old colt will put his six-race winning streak on the line after his recent first-place finish in the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
There is a total of 10 horses entered into Saturday's Florida Derby and while it is pretty obvious that I am going to go with these two studs as my top exacta pick, be sure to check my weekly horse racing report for SBR Forum to find out which one I have finishing first.
