Toronto, ON \u2013 March 6, 2024 \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment today unveiled the stakes schedule for the 2024 Thoroughbred racing season at Woodbine Racetrack.<\/p>\n

The iconic King\u2019s Plate headlines the 2024 racing meet with the 165th<\/sup> running scheduled for Saturday, August 17. The King\u2019s Plate and the Woodbine Mile serve as Woodbine\u2019s prestigious $1 million classics, while the full stakes schedule consists of 38 graded stakes, including four Grade 1 events.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to have the dates locked and start working towards our major events,\u201d said Tim Lawson, Vice President of Thoroughbred Racing. \u201cWe are proud of our entire stakes program and really looking forward to what 2024 brings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 165th<\/sup> King\u2019s Plate on Saturday, August 17 will launch the 2024 Canadian Triple Crown. The $400,000 Prince of Wales (raced at Fort Erie Race Track) will be held on Tuesday, September 10, while the $400,000 Breeders\u2019 Stakes will conclude the Triple Crown on Sunday, September 29 at Woodbine.<\/p>\n

Racing fans around the world will be focused on Woodbine for Canada\u2019s most lucrative day of racing on Saturday, September 14.<\/p>\n

The Woodbine Mile leads a quartet of Grade 1 turf events on September 14, accompanied by the Grade 1 $750,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes, Grade 1 $500,000 Johnnie Walker Natalma Stakes and Grade 1 $500,000 bet365 Summer Stakes.<\/p>\n

The Woodbine Mile, Johnnie Walker Natalma and bet365 Summer are traditionally part of the Breeders\u2019 Cup Challenge Series \u201cWin and You\u2019re In\u201d. The E.P. Taylor Stakes has been moved up three weeks from its date in 2023 to join the outstanding turf showcase.<\/p>\n

After review and consideration of industry and logistical challenges, the Canadian International Stakes will not be held in 2024.<\/p>\n

The $500,000 Woodbine Oaks Presented by Budweiser will be held on Saturday, July 20. The Oaks is the first leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara, which is completed by the $250,000 Bison City Stakes (August 10) and $250,000 Wonder Where Stakes (September 8).<\/p>\n

Another important date is the Canada Day Racing Festival on Saturday, June 29, which features five graded stakes. The stakes-filled card includes the Grade 2 Highlander Stakes, Grade 2 Nassau Stakes, Grade 3 Dominion Day Stakes, Grade 3 Selene Stakes and Grade 3 Marine Stakes.<\/p>\n
