The Florida Derby

The Florida Derby, Gulfstream Park's eleventh race today offers an interesting prospect in number 11, Radiohead, owned and trained by the same connections to Big Brown, the 2008 Florida Derby winner and subsequent Kentucky Derby champ.

Radiohead was four lengths off a victory over Looking at Lucky in last falls Breeder's Cup Juvenile before being turned over to Richard Dutrow jr.

In today's race number 7, Rule, is the deserving favorite after scoring four straight victories for trainer Todd Pletcher. That could put Radiohead close to his morning line of 3-1.

Drawing some attention will be number 2, Lentenor, a full brother to Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, also with the same owner and trainer. Edgar Prado ,Barbaro's former jockey, will be aboard Radiohead today. Post time for the Florida Derby is scheduled for 6:20 PM. William Payor
