The Florida Oaks is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies over the distance of 1+1⁄16 miles on the turf scheduled annually in mid-March at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Florida. The event currently carries a purse of $200,000.[1]
History
[edit]The race was inaugurated on 10 March 1984, at a distance of seven furlongs on the dirt and was won by Sure Too Explode who was ridden by the Tampa Bay Downs track leading jockey Rick Luhr in a time of 1:242⁄5.[2] The next year, the distance was changed in 1985 to 1+1⁄16 miles and has remained so to date.[1]
The Florida Oaks was first upgraded to Grade III status by the American Graded Stakes Committee (AGSC) in 1996, but was downgraded to listed status in 2004.[3]
It returned to Grade III in 2008 but was again downgraded for 2011.[4]
In 2011 Tampa Bay Downs officials decided to switch the race to the turf.[5] The AGSC restored the Grade III designation for the 2013 edition.[1]
Two Florida Oaks winners, Luv Me Luv Me Not in 1992 and Secret Status in 2000, went on to win the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
