Discreet Dancer to Win the Fountain of Youth

Race 11
Fountain of Youth Stakes
(Post Time: 5:13ET) Surface: Dirt
1 1/16 Miles | Open | 3 Year Olds | G2 STAKES | Purse: $400,000
$1 Daily Double / $1 Exacta / $.50 Trifecta / $.10 Superfecta

Discreet Dancer (3-1) will look for a tango partner on the lead of Gulfstream Park's feature race, the GII Fountain of Youth Stakes. With his stablemate, the morning-line favorite Algorithms, scratching this morning, the Todd Pletcher trained colt should duel with Union Rags for honors as the public's betting choice. Breaking from the five post, Discreet Dancer should vie for the lead to the half mile with Casual Trick just inside him, which is not the position you desire. Yesterday's rail was deep and slow, wearing down speedsters, stalkers, closers, and every other type of running style you fancy. Discreet Dancer should benefit sitting two or three wide. We always perk up when Pletcher assumes a new prodigy from the trust of former real-estate mogul and philanthropist, Einar Paul Robsham. In the last five years, the barn has won seven of 13 horses entered in graded stakes events and boasts a win rate of 40%. "Live for five" is our declaration today.



Selections:

1. Discreet Dancer
2. Union Rags
3. News Pending
