Zulu looks to Fountain of Youth to earn Derby points (The Associated Press)

Surely, Todd Pletcher will saddle a horse in the Kentucky Derby in a few months. Entering Saturday’s $400,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, Pletcher has just one 3-year-old among the top 50 in the Derby qualifying points standings – Destin with 1 point. Pletcher has run at least one 3-year-old in the Derby 12 years in a row, has a total of 43 starters since his first in 2000, and ranks second behind Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas’ record 48 Derby starters.
