Flamingo Stakes Winners

Here are the winners of the Flamingo Stakes from its first running in 1926 where it was originally called the Florida Derby to the final running in 2001. It was known as the Florida Derby from 1926 to 1937 and was a Grade 1 race until 1989 when the track closed for 3 years. It came back in 1993, but was discontinued again when Hialeah closed after the 2001 racing season. Horses who went on to win the Kentucky Derby are noted with a star.

• Three Tracks in One Day - back in 1997 I went to Florida for the Florida Derby and we visited all three tracks to take pictures that day. The bottom section of this page is my photos from Hialeah the day before it was going to open. Comparing these to the ones below shows just how much has been lost, despite the poor quality of my camera back then.
