Leave the Light On set to return to work tab ahead of Fountain of Youth

Leave the Light On, impressive winner of the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes in

November at Aqueduct, is training at Palm Meadows for a start in Gulfstream's

Grade 2,

$400,000 Fountain of Youth on February 21, according to trainer Chad Brown.

A three-year-old son of Horse Greeley, Leave the Light On

stamped himself as a horse to watch when he won the Remsen by a half-length fresh

off his maiden-breaking victory at Belmont Park in October. The Remsen triumph

earned him 10 points toward a potential berth in the 2015 Kentucky Derby.

Leave the Light On took some time off following the Remsen;

the Fountain of Youth should be his first scheduled start of 2015 and first as a

sophomore. The colt has been jogging and galloping steadily toward his return at

Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County,

Florida. He

is set to return to the work tab within the week.

"We gave him a little breather after the Remsen, and now

he's been galloping steady for about the last three weeks here at Palm Meadows,"

Brown noted. "He's probably ready to do some breezing, probably at the end of

(the) week. He looks good. He's galloping really well."

Leave the Light On has improved with every start of his

three-race career. He began his journey as a two-year-old in September,

finishing seventh in a six-furlong maiden special weight over a muddy

track at Belmont. When the chestnut colt returned the following month, he found

a sloppy, off-the-turf maiden waiting and ran off to

an easy 4 1/2-length win in the 1 1/16-mile contest under a hand ride. He graduated

next out to graded company in the nine-furlong Remsen and won yet again.
