The Highlander Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Run in mid to late June, the Grade II race is open to horses aged three and older. Raced over a distance of six furlongs on turf, it currently offers a purse of $160,000. Inaugurated in 1954 as the Highlander Handicap at Toronto's Greenwood Raceway, it was moved to Woodbine Racetrack in 1957. The race was contested on dirt through 2003 when it was moved to the turf for the 2004 edition. It has been run at a distance of six furlongs except for 1957 and 1958 when it was set at seven furlongs. The race was upgraded to Grade II status for 2010, fell to a Grade III, but is once again a Grade II event. ==Records== Speed record: * 1:07.87 - Marco Be Good (2006) Most wins: * 2 - Signature Red (2010, 2011) * 2 - Stutz Bearcat (1979, 1980) * 2 - Wake At Noon (2000, 2002) * 2 - Soaring Free (2004, 2005) * 2 - Smart Enough (2007, 2009) Most wins by an owner: * 6 - Sam-Son Farm (1973, 1978, 1979, 1980, 2004, 2005) Most wins by a jockey: * 4 - Todd Kabel (1997, 2003, 2004, 2005) Most wins by a trainer: * 4 - Lou Cavalaris, Jr. (1959, 1964, 1969, 1977) 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「Highlander Stakes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
