Prince of Wales Stakes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prince of Wales Stakes is a Grade I stakes race for Thoroughbred race horses first run in 1929. Since 1959 it has been the second race in the Canadian Triple Crown for three-year-olds foaled in Canada. Run at a distance of one mile and three-sixteenths, the Prince of Wales is held annually in July at Fort Erie Race Track in Fort Erie, Ontario. It follows the June running of the Queen's Plate and precedes the Breeders' Stakes in August.

A Triple Crown champion emerged in its first year of existence and in the ensuing 46 years, six more three-year-olds have equalled the feat.
