1 ANSWERS


  1. Queens Plate - 1 1/4 miles on polytrack at Woodbine

    Prince of Wales Stakes - 1 3/16 miles on the dirt at Fort Erie

    Breeders' Stakes - 1 1/2 miles on the turf at Woodbine

    These races are spaces out differently in Canada than the US Triple Crown.  The races are run 3 weeks apart from each other, as opposed to the Preakness being 2 weeks after the Kentucky Derby, and the Belmont being 3 weeks after the Preakness.

    Also, with the synthetic track put in a couple of years ago at Woodbine, in order to win the Canadian Triple Crown, you have to win on 3 surfaces to win the Triple Crown.
