Taylor turf course at a distance of miles. Part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series, the winner of the 2008 E. P. Taylor Stakes automatically qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.〔http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx〕 Originally run as the Nettie Handicap, the race was renamed in 1981 to honor the late Edward Plunket Taylor, President of the Ontario Jockey Club from 1953 to 1973 and a founder of the Jockey Club of Canada. An inductee of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, E. P. Taylor owned Windfields Farm, Canada's most successful horse breeding operation. The $1 million (now reduced to $387,150) E. P. Taylor Stakes is a Grade I event and draws horses from across North America as well as Europe. It is raced as a companion event to the Canadian International Stakes and can be a final stepping stone for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf depending on the time frame between the running of the two races. ==Distances== Over the years, the race has been competed at various distances: * 1956–1961 – miles on dirt at Greenwood Raceway * 1962–1963 – miles on dirt at Woodbine Racetrack * 1964–1967 – miles on dirt at Woodbine Racetrack * 1968 to date – miles on turf at Woodbine Racetrack 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E.
