Kentucky Derby prep season is starting to roll and Gulfstream Park is hosting two great 3-year old races today in Race #9 and Race #10.  The Fountain of Youth Stakes is a historical stepping stone to the Florida Derby, which has become one of the powerhouse Derby prep races.

At 4:51 EST we have the Hutchenson Stakes which features 5/2 favorite Travelin Man trained by 2010 Kentucky Derby winning training Todd Pletcher.

And then race immediately after is the 2011 Fountain of Youth Stakes with potential Kentucky Derby favorite and the 8/5 favorite today, To Honor And Serve.  But he’ll get a tough test from 2/1 2nd-choice Soldat.

You should also know that these races BOTH count towards the TwinSpires $25,000 Kentucky Derby 2011 Prep Race Parlay contest!
