Florida Derby winners during the past two decades include Spectacular Bid (1979), Swale (1984), Snow Chief (1986), Unbridled (1990), and Thunder Gulch (1995), all of whom went on to capture one or more Triple Crown events.
Trainer Frank Passero Jr. set a North American record when he saddled 14 consecutive winners at Gulfstream in 1996.
Gulfstream's Garden of Champions has 94 equine members; recent inductees include Cigar and Skip Away.
