Fernandes Assistant Manager of Racing THE HISTORY Since 1959, The Prince of Wales Stakes has been Fort Erie’s premier race. The second jewel in Canada’s Triple Crown of Racing, the Prince of Wales is a glowing centrepiece to The Queen’s Plate and The Breeders’ Stakes, both of which are contested at Woodbine. 2009 Prince of Wales Winner Gallant The Prince of Wales Stakes features Canada’s top three-year-olds at a distance of one mile and three-sixteenths on the main track. The 2002 edition boasted a record purse of $500,000 as Fort Erie based runner Le Cinquieme Essai thrilled the hometown fans with an upset victory. The following season saw Wando capture the half-million dollar event over a muddy main track, en route to his Triple Crown title. Many past Canadian champions have performed at Fort Erie in the classic event. Mr. E.P. Taylor’s New Providence won the first running at Fort Erie in 1959. That year The Canadian Triple Crown was introduced and New Providence won the inaugural series. Four years later, Canebora was hailed a Triple Crown champion. Canebora was also a product of Mr. Taylor’s Windfields Farm. Twenty-six years passed before another Triple Crown champion emerged. Kinghaven Farms’ brilliant grey, With Approval, survived two photo-finishes to win The Plate, then The Prince of Wales, before he cake-walked to victory in The Breeders’ Stakes. Triple Crown winners came in quick succession after With Approval ended the drought. In 1990, another grey from Kinghaven Farms, Izvestia was named the top three-year-old in the country winning the three race series. The most popular winner of The Prince of Wales waltzed to victory in 1991. Super filly Dance Smartly, “kicked sand at the boys”, as she became the first and only lady to win the Canadian Triple Crown. In 1993, the immensely talented Peteski peaked in all three races, followed by Wando’s sweep in 2003.
