Description

15th annual Florida Cup Day recognizes state's breeding and racing excellence; to be held on a Sunday for first time since 2004.

Event Details

An increase of $150,000 in purse money and a switch to Sunday are among the changes for the 15th annual Florida Cup, which will be held on April 2 at Tampa Bay Downs.

What hasn’t changed is the overall quality of the nominations for the series of six stakes races, each of which features registered Florida-bred horses running for purse money of $100,000, a 33.3 percent increase from 2016.

The names of 122 nominees were released today by the Racing Office for the Florida Cup, which includes three main-track races and three turf races. The dirt races include the Hilton Garden Inn Sprint, for horses 4-years-old-and-upward going six furlongs; the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Sophomore, for 3-year-olds at a distance of seven furlongs; and the Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies, for 3-year-old fillies traveling seven furlongs.
