The Grey Stakes is a Cana­dian Thor­ough­bred horse race held annu­ally dur­ing the first week of Octo­ber at Wood­bine Race­track in Toronto. A Grade III, it is open to two-year-old horses and is raced on dirt at a dis­tance of 11/16 miles. Since 2006, the dirt rac­ing sur­face at Wood­bine Race­track has been the syn­thetic Polytrack.

Inau­gu­rated as the Grey Stakes at the Old Wood­bine Race­track in 1906, it was named in honor of the then Gov­er­nor Gen­eral of Canada, Earl Grey. Over the years it has been run at var­i­ous distances:

• 1 mile : 1906–1929 (Old Wood­bine Race­track)
• 1 mile 70 yards : 1930–1955 (Old Wood­bine Race­track)
• 11/16 miles : 1956 to present at Wood­bine Racetrack

Enjoy the race!
