The Affirmed Stakes is the second leg of the Florida Stallion Stakes series. Inaugurated in 1982, the race was named after the Florida-bred Triple Crown winner Affirmed, who was well known for his rivalry with the west coast-bred Alydar. The race was originally run at 6 furlongs but it was quickly increased to 7 furlongs in order to create a gradually increasing set of lengths throughout the series to allow the young horses to step up to each new length as they moved through their training. The Affirmed Stakes has run in two divisions on four separate occasions (1985–1987 and 2001). ==Records== Speed record: (at current distance of 7 furlongs) * Express Tour 2000 (1:23.95) Most wins by a jockey: * 3 - Gene St. Leon (1984, Div.2 - 1985, 1988) * 3 - Jose Velez, Jr. (1983, 1990, 1991) Most wins by a trainer: * 4 - Frank Gomez (Div.2 - 1987, 1990, 1991, 2005) Most wins by an owner: * 2 - Five Star Stable (Div.1 - 1986, Div.2 - 1986) * 2 - Jack or Better Farm, Inc.
