Saturday Stakes Races
On Saturday, Gulfstream will have twelve races with first post of 12:10 p.m.
The card has three stakes races.
The $100,000 Hurricane Bertie (Grade 3) is 6 1/2 furlongs on dirt for 3-year-old fillies.
The $75,000 Melody of Colors is five furlongs on turf for 3-YO fillies.
The $75,000 Texas Glitter is five furlongs on turf for 3-YOs.
Florida Derby
On Saturday March 27, Gulfstream will have the $750,000 Florida Derby (Grade 1) and nine other stakes races.
The Florida Derby is 1 1/8 miles on dirt for 3-year-olds.
It is a points qualifying race for the Kentucky Derby (Grade 1), to be run May 1 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.
The first four Florida Derby finishers will earn 100, 40, 20 and 10 points respectively.
It is likely that at least 40 points will be needed to gain one of the twenty spots in the Kentucky Derby, which is 1 1/4 miles on dirt.
Greatest Honour is among nominees for the Florida Derby, and trainer Shug McGaughey is saying that he plans to run him in that race.
He won this year's Holy Bull (Grade 3) and Fountain of Youth (Grade 2), both 1 1/16 miles at Gulfstream.
Those two victories gave Greatest Honour a total of 60 qualifying points. He is tied for first place with Life is Good, who is trained by Bob Baffert and has been racing in Southern California.
