Calder Hall of Fame Profiles
The Calder Hall of Fame was created in 1995 to honor those individuals who have made history at Florida's first and only year-round Thoroughbred racing facility.
The Hall pays tribute to them and the ever-developing legacy that Florida contributes to the sport.
Photos of each inductee can be viewed at the southeast end of the third floor of the clubhouse.
Below, click on the year to view that year's induction class in PDF format. Profiles were written in the year of induction; updates have been added where appropriate.
