It is time for the FL Derby, a 100-point KYD prep race that historically brings out the best in the game. There are other races running next week that will also have great three year olds, but the history of the FL Derby has always been a great one.

Hollywood Hero Handles Wet Turf Smoothly in San Luis Rey Stakes
