Played Hard survived a claim of foul to narrowly annex Friday’s La Troienne Stakes (G1) at Churchill Downs.

A non-threatening fourth in her stakes debut in the Dec. 4 Demoiselle (G2), Godolphin’s homebred Nostalgic was an entirely different proposition when returning to Aqueduct for Saturday’s $250,000 Gazelle (G3).

The $400,000 Fountain of Youth (G2) runneth over with high-profile Kentucky Derby (G1) hopefuls, making it the most eagerly anticipated event on a banner Saturday at Gulfstream Park.
