The Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park is one of America's premier races for 3-year-olds and a key steppingstone to the Florida Derby and Triple Crown series. The race has been won by all-time greats like Spectacular Bid as well as more modern runners like Thunder Gulch and Orb, who would go on to win the Kentucky Derby and wear the famed blanket of roses.
