Held in mid June, it has been raced on Polytrack since 2006 over a distance of five furlongs. Open to two-year-old horses, it currently offers a purse of $125,000. Named in honor of Queen Victoria who had died in 1901, the Victoria Stakes was first run in 1903 at the Old Woodbine Racetrack. Following that facility's closure, the race was moved in 1956 to the new Woodbine race track. For 1979 only, it was raced on turf.
