A Stacked Stakes Saturday

 A great day of racing is under way on this Stakes Saturday. There is four KD 149 preps and we will look in on the one in wonderful South Florida.

Gulfstream Park Race 14 {Fountain of Youth~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

With one scratch, nine will go to the gate in this annual Kentucky Derby prep.

Past Performances used:  Drf Classic.

The road to the Derby heats up starting this weekend as these lads compete for points. There is enough speed to create an honest pace giving any of these the opportunity to secure the victory. Speed figs are very close. Only one millionaire is in the field. This should be a fantastic race.

#4 Forte (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) will be making his first start as a 3 year-old. The Breeder's Cup Juvenile Champ comes in training well, posting four serious workouts in the last 30 days. He holds the highest speed fig at the distance. This lad will track the pace and blast into the stretch. A millionaire son of Violence, he has a 80% win record from five career starts.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  / $3 SHOW.

#8 Rocket Can (Alvarado / Mott) should track the pace closely. He is 100% in the money from three starts at it. This guy loves the surface, distance and track. Two sound workouts show he is ready for a big effort. A son of Into Mischief, he is 60% in the money from five career starts.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#6 Blazing Sevens (Rosario / C. Brown) comes in off a modest layoff having last raced at Keeneland in the BC juvenile championship finishing fourth. He holds the second highest speed number at the distance and has put in three hearty workouts in preparation for this race. He is another that will track the pace and strike heading into the stretch. A son of Good Magic, he is 75% in the money from four career starts.
