Weekend GamePlan for March 5, 2022: Picks for Fountain of Youth, Kilroe Mile, Buena Vista

Barbara D. Livingston
Galt will have to overcome post 12 but appears to be rapidly improving and will be a fat price.

This is an excellent Saturday of American racing, with blockbuster cards at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita and an interesting renewal of the Gotham at Aqueduct.

I considered several horses at Gulfstream that ultimately didn’t make the three-race Weekend GamePlan cut: Mira Mission in the Canadian Turf, Girl With a Dream in the Davona Dale, Main Event in the Palm Beach, and In Italian in the Honey Fox.

On to the actual races.
