TORONTO, June 3, 2025 \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment today announced the return of the\u00a0Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)<\/a>\u00a0as the presenting sponsor of the 2025 Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to horse racing and the communities it supports across Ontario.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Triple Crown, one of the most prestigious series in North American Thoroughbred racing, includes the King\u2019s Plate at Woodbine Racetrack, the Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie Race Track, and the Breeders\u2019 Stakes back at Woodbine. The 2025 season marks another exciting chapter in this uniquely Canadian series, notable as the only Triple Crown in North America contested on three different racing surfaces: Tapeta, dirt, and turf.<\/p>\n

\u201cOLG is pleased to be returning for an eighth year as presenting sponsor of the prestigious Canadian Triple Crown Racing series,\u201d said Duncan Hannay, President and CEO, OLG.\u00a0\u200b \u201cWe are a long-time supporter of horse racing in Ontario, and we\u2019re proud to help bring this thrilling sport to people across the province. This partnership reflects our deep-rooted commitment to the horse racing industry and our desire to see it thrive in a modern, digital era. By supporting live broadcasts, we\u2019re bringing the thrill of these races to new and returning fans alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2025 OLG Canadian Triple Crown will begin with the King\u2019s Plate on Saturday, August 16, followed by the Prince of Wales Stakes on Tuesday, September 9, and will conclude with the Breeders\u2019 Stakes on Sunday, September 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cOLG\u2019s continued support means a great deal to everyone in the horse racing industry,\u201d said Michael Copeland, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. \u201cThe Canadian Triple Crown represents the pinnacle of our sport, but OLG\u2019s commitment extends well beyond these marquee events and across all breeds. We\u2019re proud to partner with them as we work to grow the sport and deliver the excitement of horse racing to audiences across the country and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

OLG\u2019s involvement includes event sponsorship, fan engagement initiatives, and on-site activations designed to bring fans closer to the action while celebrating the spirit of community that horse racing fosters throughout Ontario.<\/p>\n
