Any questions about the future for Wildcat Red that may have been raised by his troubled 18th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) were emphatically dismissed at Gulfstream Park, where the 3-year-old son of D'wildcat romped to a 10 1/4-length victory in the $90,000 Quality Road Stakes.

Though relatively early on the Derby trail, it's unlikely there will be another two-way duel as good as the one in the $415,000 Grade II Besilu Stables Fountain of Youth Stakes, won by Wildcat Red over General a Rod at Gulfstream Park. The two colts fought all the way on the front end through fast fractions and settled matters down the long Gulfstream Park stretch.
