Fountain of Youth Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fountain of Youth Stakes is a race for thoroughbred horses run at Gulfstream Park at the beginning of March each year. A Grade II event open to three-year-olds willing to race one and one-eighth miles on the dirt, it offers a purse of $300,000. It is the final stakes prep to the Florida Derby.

Kentucky Derby winners Tim Tam (1958), Kauai King (1966) and Thunder Gulch (1995) won this race.
