2025 Fountain of Youth Stakes Set for March 1 at Gulfstream Park

The 2025 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park features a competitive field of eight horses racing for a share of the $415,000 purse and crucial points towards the Kentucky Derby. Notable contenders include 'Gate to Wire,' a strong allowance winner making his route debut, and 'Sovereignty,' who returns after a layoff as a promising Street Sense Stakes winner. 'Burnham Square' is another key horse, having shown consistent improvement and winning the Holy Bull Stakes. Historical trends suggest that horses with prior experience at Gulfstream Park and those with successful sprint backgrounds often excel in this race. Additionally, Todd Pletcher, the leading trainer in this event's history, will have a significant presence with multiple entrants. The race is scheduled for March 1, 2025, and promises to be an exciting prelude to the Derby season.
