It turns out that one of the deep closers, Common Defense went up to put pressure on Track Phantom and that did both of them in. I think if Track Phantom could have gotten the six furlongs three lengths slower he might have held on. I question running him in the Derby but Asmussen has never won it and he probably will put him in but he seems like an easy toss if there is other early speed.
The entries were taken for the Florida Derby, 11 horse field with Fierceness drawing the 10 hole as the 8-5 ML favorite. I didn't like this race but I love the Florida Derby.
