Gulfstream Park Oaks
The Gulfstream Park Oaks is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The Grade II race is open to three-year-old fillies, willing to race one and one-eighth miles on the dirt. Inaugurated in 1971, it was raced as the Bonnie Miss Stakes until 2011.

The first running was won by Able Jan who was ridden by Bobby Breen and trained for owner, True Davis, Jr. by future Hall of Fame inductee, Horatio Luro.
