The Florida Derby 2023 is starting, and your horse racing software will be seeing a lot of action wagering on these races. When Forte enters the 2023 Florida Derby on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, he will have the opportunity to demonstrate why he is the horse to defeat in the forthcoming Kentucky Derby. Forte is trained by Todd Pletcher.
In the Kentucky Derby futures, Forte, the two-year-old champion from last year, is the 2-1 favorite. According to reports from most sports news sites, if he wins the title in the Florida Derby 2023 this coming Saturday, those odds might drop even further. And in the odds for the 2023 Florida Derby, Forte is the 4-5 favorite. In the 12-horse 2023 Florida Derby field, the Tim Yakteen-trained Fort Bragg is the 5-1 second pick, with Dubynell (6-1), Cyclone Mischief (8-1) and Mage (10-1) rounding out the top five. So when betting on the races, keep an eye out for these names.

The Derby starts today at 6:40 PM ET, and will be one of the most exciting events this weekend. A lot of betting experts are looking at Mage to win, even if the odds are not exactly that competitive than other horses. Your bookie pay per head software will have all the details, which you can easily see- from betting lines, to where your players have been betting. From there, you can move the lines as needed.
Another thing to keep an eye out for are the jockeys. For instance, Mage will have Luis Saez as his jockey, and he is one of the top gate jockeys today. But given the odds for the derby, it seems that there is no clear contender, which makes it all the more exciting for horse racing fans.
