Gulfstream Park is set to host a new kind of live racing on Saturday, March 14th, when the track is set to swap Thoroughbreds for Corgis for the inaugural Coastal Corgi Classic. The family-friendly event adds a tail-wagging twist to live racing typically found at Gulfstream Park, delivering maximum cuteness, big cheers, and very serious competition (from dogs under a foot tall). The event will showcase registered Corgis competing in a series of short, controlled sprint races conducted under strict safety, operational, and animal-welfare guidelines on the dirt track.

For additional information or details on how to register your Corgi to participate, please see below, or visit https://www.gulfstreampark.com/event/entertainment/coastal-corgi-classic-mar-14/

Event Details:
4 qualifying heats.
The top 3 finishers of each heat advance to the Championship race.
Medals and trophies will be presented to the top 3 winners.
Swag bags for all entrants, including dog bowls, tennis balls, and more.
