Everglades Stakes

The Everglades Stakes was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Hialeah Park in Hialeah, Florida. For three-year-old horses, the 1+18 mile race was run on dirt until 1994 when it was converted to a race on turf. It was elevated to Grade III status in 1999.

Raced for two-year-old fillies in 1939 and 1940, as a result of World War II, there was no race run between 1941 and 1945. On its return in 1946, it was changed to a race for three-year-olds as an important prep race for the Flamingo Stakes that would attract some of the very best horses in the United States.[1]

In 2000, the race was held on the dirt at Gulfstream Park[2] then was run for the last time ever back at Hialeah in 2001 after which the track closed.[3]

The Everglades Stakes was run in two divisions in 1951.[4]
