The Skip Away Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. A Grade III event open to horses age four and older, it is contested on dirt over a distance of ​1 18 miles (9 furlongs). The race is a Grade III event with a current purse of $100,000.


Inaugurated as the Broward Handicap, in 2001 Gulfstream Park changed the name to the Skip Away Handicap to honor 1998 American Horse of the Year, Skip Away.


In 2000, the South African-bred Horse Chestnut, 1999 Horse of the Year in his native country, made his American debut in this race, winning going away by five and one-half lengths. Other past winners of note include U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Swaps who won in 1956 and set a new world record for 1 mile, 70 yards with time of 1:39 3/5.


Since its inception, the race has been run at various distances:


  • 1 116 miles : 1987, 1990, 1993–2004

  • 1 18 miles : 1991-1992, 2005–2008, 2016-2017

  • 1 316 miles : 2009-2015
