Gulfstream Park will run its $1 million Florida Derby today, with periods of rain in the forecast for late morning and the afternoon.
But barring any mid-day downpours, a crowd of
15,000 or more could jam the track in
Hallandale Beach. If the main track is
fast and races stay on the turf, fans on site will no doubt join simulcast and
ADW bettors in plunging more than $20 million on Gulfstream’s 14 races. Eight
of the races are stakes.
The first post is at 12 noon, and to find
parking and a place to stand, it is advisable to get to Gulfstream as
early as possible. All seats facing the
track and all restaurant seats have been
sold.
The Florida Derby (Grade 1) is 1-1/8 miles for 3-year-olds. It is the14th race with scheduled post time of 6:48 p.m. ET.
General a
Rod is our pick to win the Florida
Derby.
Inside Florida Horse Racing will be at
Gulfstream this afternoon. We will have
periodic reports on the races, the weather, and the overall scene at Gulfstream.
