March madness goes full force on this first day of the month! A full three Kentucky Derby prep races fall on Saturday, March 1st, 2025. Santa Anita races the GII San Felipe Stakes, Aqueduct is home to the GIII Gotham Stakes and Gulfstream Park posts the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes. The first Saturday in March will figure heavily on the first Saturday in May. These races offer many prep points that shape the field of twenty from the leaderboard to the starting gate of the Kentucky Derby. Foremost, let’s focus on the Fountain of Youth.
