Analysis: Big weekend him for him, as he will likely be the favorite in the Grade 1 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park.  So much for him coming in under the radar – he’s now directly in the spotlight.  The race has come up strong, like always, so he’ll have to run another big one to pick up the win.  Last year, Nyquist used the Florida Derby as a springboard to a win in the Kentucky Derby.  Will Gunnevera do the same?
