The Woodbine Oaks is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Inaugurated in 1956, it is the premier event for Canadian-foaled three-year-old fillies and the first leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara series.
Raced over a distance of 1+1⁄8 miles on Polytrack synthetic dirt, the Woodbine Oaks is currently sponsored by Budweiser and currently offers a purse of $391,200.
First run at 1+1⁄16 miles, since 1959 the distance has been set at 1+1⁄8 miles. Originally called the Canadian Oaks, in 2001 it was changed to the Labatt Woodbine Oaks, and then to the Woodbine Oaks presented by Budweiser in 2008.
