Nyquist is the favorite to find the Winner’s Circle. He is coming off an impressive win in the Florida Derby where he defeated the undefeated favorite, Mohaymen. Exaggerator is next in line in the odds with Mohaymen listed in third after his disappointing showing in the Florida Derby. Gun Runner leads in the point standings and is fourth in the odds.
