Today, the Daily Racing Form's races of the week are the Florida Derby and the Bonnie Miss Stakes, both at Gulfstream Park.

In the Florida Derby, I'll bet Fierce Wind, who has won three in a row and is undefeated around two turns. The inside post should benefit him. The Form provides free past performances.

I'll bet Shes All Eltish in the Bonnie Miss. She's been training sharply and her Tomlinson rating indicates that she should like the distance. The Form provides free past performances.

In the Tampa Bay Derby, I can't bet against the undefeated War Pass, but he'll likely go off at such a short price that I can't bet on him, either. I think I'll pass the race. The Form provides free past performances.

I'll bet Monterey Jazz in the Santa Anita Handicap. On one hand, he's never gone a mile and a quarter before and he could bounce off of the 107 Beyer he ran in the Strub Stakes.
