History

The event was inaugurated 23 January 2011 and was won by the eight-year-old former claimer Stradivinsky who was the 11/10 favorite in a 5 horse field in a time of 56.69.[1]

In 2020 the event was renamed to the World of Trouble Turf Sprint Stakes after the sprinter World of Trouble who won the race the previous year.[2]

The event was upgraded to Grade III in 2021 and the name of the race was reverted to the Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint Stakes.[3]

In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status[4]
