Three-year-old fillies and three-old colts are in full force this Saturday at Gulfstream Park!

The gals take to the dirt first in the G2 Davona Dale.  Then, it’s the boys’ turn in the G1 Fountain of Youth Stakes.

Race 9 – Grade II Davona Dale

Abou – 20/1 – She looks overmatched. Luna Santa – 15/1 – She’s lost her last 2 by a combined 14 ¾ lengths. Onlyforyou – 2/1 – Undefeated, Pletcher and Castellano…need any more info? Aurelia’s Bell – 6/1 – She’s got a decent shot at an upset if things fall her way. House Rules – 10/1 – Trainer Jerkens is taking a stab with this last out maiden winner. Penwith – 4/1 – McLaughlin gets 30% winners with first time lasix. Holiday Magic – 12/1 – Tough to endorse for any spot. Stopchargingmaria – 9/5 – How geared up will she be after that brutal two-year-old campaign?

Wagering Selections:  Penwith, Onlyforyou, Aurelia’s Bell

Race 11 – Grade I Fountain of Youth Stakes Commissioner – 3/1 – Barely wins, short odds…pass. We Miss Artie – 8/1 – Those 8/1 ML odds make him an overlay. Medal Count – 15/1 – Looks overmatched in this. Wildcat Red – 6/1 – Will add to the pace. General A Rod – 5/1 – Could get a nice stalking trip in the garden spot. Casiguapo – 30/1 – Might be tough at 30/1. C.Zee – 12/1 – Will have to get over a case of seconditis. Almost Famous-10/1- Should be in a speed duel with Wildcat Red. Best Plans Yet – 20/1 – He’d be a big surprise. Our Caravan – 30/1 – Lost by 13 lengths in the Holy Bull in his last. He’s In Front – 20/1 – Already got a beat down from Top Billing. Top Billing – 7/2 – Could lightning strike twice for Shug?  Yes! East Hall – 20/1 – Not the worst 20/1 stab.
