After a quiet weekend, the prep season for the 2018 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve picks back up in sunny south Florida, with the $400,000, Grade 2 Xpressbet.com Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park. The Fountain of Youth awards Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the top four finishers on a 50-20-10-5 scale and is expected to feature the 3-year-old debut of Good Magic, winner of the 2017 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the last year’s champion 2-year-old male.

Television coverage of the Fountain of Youth will be headlined by the new “Fox Sports Saturday At the Races” series airing on FS2. Saturday’s broadcast from Gulfstream airs from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Eastern. The Fountain of Youth anchors a jam-packed day of stakes races at Gulfstream, with eight other stakes on the schedule. Those undercard races will be televised by TVG.

For online coverage, XBTV will be live on-site at Gulfstream for all of the action during the Fountain of Youth card. First post at Gulfstream on Saturday is at noon Eastern.
