The Honey Fox Stakes is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares that are four years or older held annually in late February or early March at Gulfstream Park, Hallandale Beach, Florida. Run over a distance of 1 mile on the turf, the event currently carries a purse of $150,000.
History
The race was inaugurated in May 1984[3] and named after the winning mare Honey Fox[4] who won thirteen races in her career including the Grade II Orchid Handicap. However, the event name was not used again until 1989 and again it disappeared after the 1991 running.
In 1985 Gulfstream Park introduced a new race which was predecessor to today's named event, known as the Joe Namath Handicap. This race was named after the New York Jets Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Namath. The event was renamed to the Honey Fox Handicap in 2000 and between 2013 and 2017 it was run as a Grade II race. In 2009, the race was changed from a handicap to an allowance weight basis.[2]
