Calder, the racing facility hosts the biggest racing events in the Sunshine State, including the annual "Florida Million", a $1.2 million dollar 8 race stakes program for Florida-breds taking place late in the year, and the highly popular "Summit of Speed", which has produced several Breeders' Cup champions and Eclipse Award winners since its start in 2000.
