The Mac Diarmida Stakes is a Grade II American Thoroughbred horse race for horses four-years-old and older run over a distance of one-and-three-eighth miles (11 furlongs) on the turf, annually in late February or early March at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The current purse is $200,000.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

The event was inaugurated on 16 January 1995 for three-year-olds at a distance of 1 mile and 70 yards and was held on the dirt track.[2]

The race was named in honor of Florida-bred Mac Diarmida who was the American Champion Male Turf Horse of 1978.[3] The following year, in 1996 the event was lengthened slightly to one-and-one-sixteenth miles and run on the turf.

It was run as a handicap from 1997 through 2008 but is now run under allowance weight conditions. The event was upgraded to Grade III in 1997.[4] In 1997, wet weather forced the race to be moved from the turf course to the main dirt track and set at a distance of one-and-one-quarter miles with conditions changed to allow horses four years old and older. In 1998 the race was changed to its present distance of one-and-three-eighths miles.[1]

The race was not run in 2001.[1] The event was upgraded once again in 2007 to Grade II.[4] The event was originally held in January but since 2017 has been run in late February or early March.[1]
