On the last day of our horse racing weekend we look at the extremely competitive Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 10 {Florida Derby~G1~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
This will be the most spectacular KD 137 prep race of all. An eight horse field of richly talented horses will make the start. The pace promises to be fast, very fast. More than half the field has the ability to be a contender in this year's Kentucky Derby.
#1 Soldat (A. Garcia / McLaughlin) has a slight edge with the second highest last out speed number, a perfect record at the distance, and three sensational workouts. Clearly the one to beat.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#2 To Honor and Serve (Gomez / Mott) will be one of the challengers with a 100% in the money record (five races) on the surface, a decent last out speed number and four robust, peaking workouts. He should be forwardly placed ready to strike at the top of the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#6 Stay Thirsty (Dominguez / Pletcher) will also challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two fine workouts.
$2 SHOW.

#7 Dialed In (Leparoux / Zito) could pull off the victory under a torrid pace. This closer appears to be well prepped with the third highest last out speed number and one healthy workout. He will brandish a deep closing kick.
10 CENT Superfecta
#1 Soldat, #2 To Honor and Serve / #1, #2 / #6 Stay Thirsty, #7 Dialed In / #6, #7.

Fillies Running at Gulfstream
On the eve of the Florida Derby we take a look at the Gulfstream Oaks at Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 11 {Gulfstream Oaks~G2~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~fillies}
The 41st running of this race will feature a field of seven. There will be a wholesome pace among these talented fillies. Only two have gone the distance, although on the Turf. It appears to be a race between two favorites with the rest fighting for the third place purse money.
#5 R Heat Lightning (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) This well managed filly by trainer Todd Pletcher will be the one to beat. She is head and shoulders above the rest with the highest last out speed number and three robust, peaking workouts. She should close well for the victory.
$1 WIN.
#7 It's Tricky (A. Garcia / McLaughlin) will be the top challenger with a perfect three win record, the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three athletic, peaking workouts. She will press the pace and should get first jump heading for the wire.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.
#4 Beso Grande (Lezcano / DiMauro) has the edge for the show money. She will be moving up in distance with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and the best workout tab of five superb, peaking workouts.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Triune (P. Lopez / Jerkens) will fight for the third place money with a decent last out speed number at the distance on Turf, a three race progression, and two hearty, peaking workouts.
10 CENT Superfecta
