The reason he’s no longer favored (now at 10-1 at some online books), Mohaymen lost the Florida Derby.  He didn’t just lose, he finished in 4th place.

McLaughlin claims the Florida Derby loss was a fluke, pointing to a very short run to the first turn, a wet track and recent transport to Gulfstream Park the same day as the race.

None of these elements will be an issue on Saturday. Mohaymen’s long been situated in Louisville and the track will be dry.
