[oldmanTED]

Well, it's that time of year once again to roll out the DRF Race Of The Week as the three year olds begin to point in earnest on the road to the Kentucky Derby.

This Saturday, Gulfsteam Park presents The Fountain Of Youth Stakes (Grade II) at a mile on the dirt for a purse of $250,000. A field of 12 is currently scheduled to go to the post at 5:14 p.m. EST. The post positions, morning line odds and past performance link are shown below.

If you cannot read the PP link, simply sign up at www.drf.com for free and you will be able to read the pdf file. The DRF never bothers you and all you use is an e-mail address and a password.

This is an open thread for anyone that wants to contribute, post a play, whatever. I will continue threads all the way up through completion of the Belmont Stakes. Hope you all enjoy this years races.
