The Florida Derby win selection is on #12 Ete Indien who was 2nd last out in the Holy Bull Stakes to the favorite Tiz the Law. However 2 back Ete Indien won the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth staked earning a powerful 106 speed figure beating Tiz the Law by over 8 lengths. Look for Ete Indien to win.
For our exotics we will use exacta and trifecta boxes with the #12 Ete Indien, #7 Tiz the Law #9 Independence hall and #5 Governur Morris.
Looking at the contenders we see that Tiz the Law had a huge 117 speed figure in his Holy Bull stakes win last out. While we think he will do well, its tough to back him as the favorite in a spot where he could bounce a bit. Number 9 Independence Hall ran 2nd in the Sam F. Davis stakes his first two turn race and should be close at the end. Number 5 Governur Morris ran 2nd in the Grade 1 Breeders Cup Futurity then came back to win his 3 year old debut last month and could surprise this field if he continues to improve.
