With each passing week, we inch closer to the first Saturday in May. This year’s road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, like so many before it, has already been filled with twists, turns, spectacular performances and several surprises. One of the most unexpected results thus far in Derby prep season came Saturday in the Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, which offered 50 Derby qualifying points to the winner (horses earn entry into the Kentucky Derby through the accumulation of points in prep races).

Longshot Promises Fulfilled lit up the tote board and paid handsome dividends, winning the Fountain of Youth at odds of 18.20-1. As it unfolded, Twitter was abuzz with photos, trackside updates and reactions. Here are some of our favorite posts from Fountain of Youth Day.
