Hallandale Beach, FL (SportsNetwork.com) – A $1 million bonus is being offered to the winning owner of next year’s Florida Derby by Fasig-Tipton.

Gulfstream Park and Fasig-Tipton announced Wednesday that if a graduate of the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Florida Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, conducted at Gulfstream Park on Wednesday, March 4, wins the 2016 Florida Derby the owner will be paid a $1 million bonus.

“This bonus is a unique way to celebrate Gulfstream Park’s partnership with Fasig-Tipton,” said The Stronach Group’s COO and Gulfstream President Tim Ritvo. “Gulfstream is known for its world-class racing and by the many classic and Grade I champions produced by the Florida Derby, and Fasig-Tipton’s March sale is the premier 2-year-old sale. We think this initiative will also be fun for fans as they follow the horses through the sales ring and throughout their racing careers.”

This year’s $1 million Florida Derby at 1 1/8 miles is on March 28.
