Today is perhaps one of the most pivotal days on the Kentucky Derby trail. It will almost certainly set up the favorite in next months Kentucky Derby and should, hopefully, be an entertaining race to watch. The obvious two horses are Nyquist, unbeaten, and Mohaymen, another horse with the same record. These present a very interesting options for favorites in the Derby. Personally, I like Mohaymen far more than Nyquist. I think he has benefitted from smaller fields and shorter distnces. Looking at his pedigree, nothing strikes me as a Derby horse. I then clearly think Mohaymen will win the Florida Derby and most likely will be the favorite in the Run for the Roses. In a relatively weak field, Nyquist will come in second, but don't be surprised if he comes in third. Both will head along to Louisville next month. Whether or not Mohaymen being the favorite in the Derby is justified will have to be figured out but in my opinion, he has not even tested by a lot of horses or a top caliber horse either. We will get some answers to that today.
