Gulfstream Park

The Florida Derby stakes debuted at Gulfstream Park in 1952, in time with the race track’s expansion. The next year the derby purse was raised to $100,000 making it the first stakes event so richly endowed in the Sunshine State. The Florida Derby is a premier prep race for the Kentucky Derby.
