This weekend, Gulfstream’s Championship Meet reaches its culmination: Florida Derby Day.  The card features a pair of 100-point three-year-old preps: the Florida Derby (G1) and the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2).

The Florida Derby features Gunnevera, who by sheer consistency has emerged among the top of his class.  Always Dreaming has been getting most of the chatter, among the rest of the field…can he break out here?

The Gulfstream Park Oaks features Tequilita, winner of the Forward Gal — plus several intriguing newer runners ready to try stakes company and make their marks.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read my preview of the Gulfstream Park Oaks and the Florida Derby, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
