HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (AP) Mohaymen has been set as the morning line favorite over Nyquist in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Florida Derby showdown between the unbeaten 3-year-olds.
Mohaymen snared the No. 9 post at Wednesday's draw at Gulfstream Park and will open with even-money odds. Nyquist will start from the No. 4 spot and is the second choice at 6-5 in the 10-horse field.
Mohaymen has won all five of his starts. Nyquist is unbeaten in six races. The two are considered the top contenders for this year's Kentucky Derby, and Saturday's race will be the last prep for both before the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs.
The third choice was Fellowship, with early odds of 15-1.
