The Wonder Where Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually since 1965 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Held during the end of July/first week in August, it is the third leg of Canadian Triple Tiara series for Canadian-foaled three-year-old fillies.
Raced on Turf, the Wonder Where Stakes currently offers a purse of $250,000. Since inception in 1965, it has been contested at 1¼ miles (10 furlongs) except for 1994 when the distance was set at 1⅛ miles (9 furlongs).
The race is named in honor of the champion filly, Wonder Where, Canada's 1959 Horse of the Year and a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee.
In 2007, Sealy Hill became the first filly to win the Canadian Triple Tiara since the series was created in 1999.
Famous quotes containing the word stakes:
“This man was very clever and quick to learn anything in his line. Our tent was of a kind new to him; but when he had once seen it pitched, it was surprising how quickly he would find and prepare the pole and forked stakes to pitch it with, cutting and placing them right the first time, though I am sure that the majority of white men would have blundered several times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
