Tropical Turf Stakes

The Tropical Turf Stakes is an American Grade IIIT Thoroughbred horse race run on the turf course at Gulfstream Park West in Miami Gardens, Florida each year. It was run as the Christmas Day Handicap through 1992.

Open to three-year-old horses and up, it is set at a distance of one and one-eighth miles (9 furlongs) and currently offers a purse of $100,000.

The Tropical Turf is the last of the four $100,000 stakes races on Gulfstream West's “Grand Slam I program.” The My Charmer Handicap is the first, the Three Ring Stakes second, and the Foolish Pleasure Stakes third.

In 2015 this race was run at Gulfstream Park West at one and one-sixteenth mile.
