The $1 Million Florida Derby (G1), Gulfstream Park, Race 14, 6:42 p.m. Eastern

(10) Fierceness seems to run a good one and then a bad one. He’s due for a good one, but the post is a concern. (9) Conquest Warrior has looked impressive in two wins over the track and seems ready for his stakes debut. (2) Hades has speed and an inside post. Definitely a threat to win but he could be challenged early by Fierceness in what may be a tough speed duel. (4) Grand Mo the First missed by a neck in a promising try in the Tampa Bay Derby. Betting strategy: 10 to win. Exacta and trifecta box: 2-4-9-10.
