TONIGHT’S Florida Derby is the latest race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby and the Gulfstream Park Grade 1 is a key heat in its traditional spot, five weeks out from the first leg of the Triple Crown.
The nine-furlong contest has produced the subsequent Kentucky Derby winner 15 times in all and you only have to go back to 2017 to find the last one - Always Dreaming. Indeed only two years ago Maximum Security won in Florida and went on to be controversially disqualified in the Derby.
