This is an important Kentucky Derby prep race taking place Saturday at Gulfstream Park in South Florida. The race gives points to the top four finishers that will help them earn a spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate.
The purse will be $350,000 (since 2016). This race takes place at Gulfstream Park in South Florida on Saturday February 3, one week after the Pegasus World Cup was run there. It is run on 1 mile of dirt and open to qualified 3-year-olds.
This Grade II race is a prep for the Florida Derby, which itself is a prep for the upcoming Kentucky Derby in May.

Enticed was coming in as the 5-2 odds on favorite for Saturday's race.
Enticed skipped the Breeders’ Cup and made his juvenile finale at Churchill Downs. He is trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.
“This is a key race for us to see how they stack up. He's done everything right and he won a nice race last time out. The colt that he beat a nose at Churchill is probably the horse to beat for us, one of the ones to beat,” said McLaughlin, who trains the Kentucky-bred for Godolphin Racing LLC. “He's doing great and we're happy, but it's hard to compare him to Cairo Prince and Mohaymen and other horses to him.”
