Racing Dudes 2021 Florida Derby Wagering Guide and Picks

Courtlandt Farms’ Greatest Honour will have a lot riding on him in Saturday’s $750,000 Curlin Florida Derby (G1) as he looks to become the first horse in history to sweep all three legs of Gulfstream Park’s prep series. He previously took home January’s Holy Bull Stakes (G3) and February’s Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2).

“He’s a big, tall horse. He’s grown a little over the winter. So, that will be fun watching him develop. His pedigree says he’ll run as far as you want him to run,” McGaughey said. “With his stride, I don’t think he’s a horse with a quick turn of foot, but when he gets going, he covers so much ground that he catches up in a hurry.”

Will Greatest Honour complete his sweep of the three Derby preps at Gulfstream Park?
