On last years Florida Derby undercard, Honey Ryder won the 12 furlong Orchid Stakes by 4 lengths in 2:23 flat.
Two races later, Ramazutti and Einstein were 2nd and 4th, in the 12 furlong Pan Am Cap, that race was run in 2:24 1/5th.
HR's race featured a 48 flat pace, the other went 48 2/5ths.
Honey Ryder will be much shorter than that crazy 4/1 that the morning line maker hung on her. She will be a deserving favorite.
