First run in 1965, the Orchid Stakes is run annually at Gulfstream Park on the turf course. While first run as a 1 1/16 mile race, the Orchid Stakes was moved to 1 ½ miles in 1986 and is still contested at that distance. Christophe Clement has the most wins of any trainer with seven and Honey Ryder is the only mare to win it twice. Among winners of the race are Honey Fox, Just a Game, Sabin and Dress Rehearsal.
