Green Flash Handicap Race History
The Flower Bowl Stakes is a Grade III horse race run each year at Del Mar Racetrack. For its 20th running, the race was elected to become a qualifier for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint in 2022 as part of the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge Series.
Even in its short history, two horses have already won the race twice: California Flag (2009, 2010) and Lieutenant Dan (2021, 2022). Aboard California Flag for his 2009 victory was jockey Joseph Talamo, who holds the record for most wins at 3 (2009, 2011, 2019). That year California Flag would go on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint in route to being named Co-California Horse of the Year (along with 2009 Breeders Cup Sprint winner Dancing in Silks).
