The races in the Canadian Triple Crown are the Queen's Plate, the Prince of Wales Stakes, and the Breeders' Stakes. They are similar to their American counterparts in that each race is run over the same distance: Queen's Plate/Kentucky Derby, 1 1/4 miles; Prince of Wales/Preakness, 1 3/16 miles; Breeders'/Belmont, 1 1/2 miles. The main difference between the Canadian Triple Crown and the American Triple Crown is that in America the races are all run over dirt courses. In Canada they are run over 3 different surfaces: Polytrack, dirt and turf (grass).
