Racing has taken place at the current Woodbine racecourse, 14 miles north-west of Toronto, since 1956. See Greenwood racecourse for previous history. The left handed oval turf track has a perimeter of 12 furlongs with a 2 furlong home straight, racing being staged from April to December. Its principal races are the Queen's Plate run in July over 10 furlongs and first contested in 1860, the E P Taylor Stakes in October, and the Breeder's Stakes, these being two of the 3 legs of the Canadian Triple Crown. However, its most valuable race is the Canadian International in October which was first run in 1938 as the Long Branch Championship. The inaugural running was won by Bunty Lawless ridden by Tom Aimers. Shepperton achieved a remarkable double in 1942 and 1943, which was repeated by George Royal in 1965 and again in 1966. Lester Piggott was successful on the filly Dahlia in 1974.
