The Tropical Park Oaks is an American Thoroughbred horse race in Florida formerly run on New Year's Day.[1] Formerly run at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Florida, the event moved to Gulfstream Park after Calder closed in 2020.[2] The one and one sixteenth mile ungraded stakes turf event for 3-year-old fillies offers a purse of $125,000 added.[3]
The race is named for the old Tropical Park Race Track.[citation needed]
