Azalea Stakes
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Azalea Breeders' Cup Stakes is a race for Thoroughbred horses run at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Florida on the Summit of Speed Day each year. Inaugurated in 1975 as the Azalea Handicap, the race is open to three-year-old fillies willing to race six furlongs on the dirt.
The Grade III race carries a purse of $150,000. (2015)
In 2015, the Azalea, held for three decades at Calder Race Course, was run at Gulfstream Park due to racing negotiations between the two Florida racetracks.
