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.
