Display Stakes
Horse race
The Display Stakes is a Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Contested on a synthetic "all weather" surface over a distance of 7 furlongs, it is open to two-year-old horses. Having been raced during October, November, or early December throughout its history, the listed stakes race offers a purse of $125,250 CAD.
Inaugurated in 1956 at Toronto's Old Woodbine Race Course as a sprint race, it was named for American Walter J. Salmon's colt Display, winner of the 1926 Preakness Stakes and who frequently raced in Canada where he won a number of important races.
