The Breeders’ Stakes is the third and final leg in the Canadian Triple Crown for three-year-old Thoroughbreds. It generally takes place in August after the Queen’s Plate (June) and Prince of Wales Stakes (July) have been held. Like the Belmont Stakes, which is the final leg of the US Triple Crown, the Breeders’ Stakes is 1.5 miles long (12 furlongs) so it is also the test of a champion.
The race is held on a turf track at the Woodbine Racetrack, in Toronto, Canada. Like the Prince of Wales Stakes, the Breeders’ Stakes has a purse of $500,000.

History
The race was inaugurated in 1889 and has been held at the Woodbine Racetrack every year except one since the inauguration. In 1994 the Breeders’ Stakes race moved to the Fort Erie Race Track due to construction on the Woodbine Turf track. The last Triple Crown winner was ‘Wando’ who won in 2003. Since then no horse has even come into the Breeders’ Stakes race having won both the Queen’s Plate and the Prince of Wales Stakes. To learn more about the race check out the Wikipedia page.
