About Gulfstream Park Horse Racing Betting

Gulfstream Park, a premier Thoroughbred racetrack in Hallandale Beach, Florida, opened on February 1, 1939, but closed after a brief four-day meet due to financial issues. Revived in 1944 by James Donn Sr., it thrived under his family with the launch of the Gulfstream Park Handicap in 1946 and the Florida Derby in 1952 (initially a $100,000 purse record). Key additions included turf racing in 1959, expansions through the 1960s–1980s, and major renovations after Magna Entertainment’s 1999 purchase, including a casino in 2006, The Village shopping/dining area in 2010, and the iconic 110-foot Pegasus statue in 2014. Now owned by The Stronach Group, it hosts year-round racing and entertainment, highlighted by the Pegasus World Cup since 2017—one of the world’s richest races.

When Does Gulfstream Park Race?

Gulfstream Park runs year round. The highlight of the year is the Championship Meet which runs from December to April, with the highlight the Florida Derby, a key Kentucky Derby prep race.

Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) — The track’s flagship event, a $3 million dirt race for 4-year-olds and up at 1 1/8 miles, held in late January (e.g., January 24, 2026). It’s one of the world’s richest races and draws top international contenders.

Holy Bull Stakes (G3) — Another important early-season 3-year-old prep in late January or early February, often launching contenders toward the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby.
