Azalea Stakes
The Azalea Stakes is a race for Thoroughbred horses once run at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Florida on the Summit of Speed Day each year. Since 2015, the Azalea is now run at Gulfstream Park due to racing negotiations between the two Florida racetracks. Inaugurated in 1975 as the Azalea Handicap, the race is open to three-year-old fillies willing to race seven furlongs on the dirt. The listed race carries a purse of $100,000.
