Western Canadian Triple Crown

The Western Canadian Triple Crown was established in 2023, and consists of three races across three Canadian tracks. It consists of the Manitoba Derby, the Canadian Derby, and the British Columbia Derby.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Announced on May 9, 2023, the Western Canadian Triple Crown adds a bonus incentive of $100,000 CAD to any horse who can win all three races.

The first iteration of the Western Canadian Triple Crown started with the Manitoba Derby on August 7, 2023 at Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg, Manitoba,[8] where Mano Dura was the winner.[9][10] The second leg, the Canadian Derby, was won by Abeliefinthislivin at Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton, Alberta,[11] and Accidental Hero won the third leg at Hastings Racecourse in the British Columbia Derby in Vancouver, British Columbia.[12]

Background The first “Derby” was run in 1930, although from 1930 to 1933 it was known as the Manitoba Stakes. In 1934 the name of the race was officially changed to the Manitoba Derby. In 1936 the Derby was opened to all horses bred in Canada. The race was run annually at old Polo Park race track with the exception of 1937 when it was run at Whittier Park in St. Boniface. In 1941 the Manitoba Derby was changed to the Canadian Derby. The new Canadian Derby was run at Polo Park until it closed in 1956 and the race was relocated to Edmonton. In 1960, the Manitoba Derby was resurrected. In 1941 the Manitoba Derby was changed to the Canadian Derby. In 1956, Polo Park Racetrack was closed and the race was moved to Northlands Park in Edmonton, Alberta. In 2019, the race moved to its present location at the Century Mile Racetrack and Casino south of Edmonton. The Canadian Derby was contested at 1 mile from 1930 to 1933, 1+14 miles (10 furlongs; 2,000 m) from 1934 to 1956, and 1+38 miles (11 furlongs; 2,200 m) miles from 1957 until 2018. The race returned to 1 1⁄4 miles in 2019 when it was moved to Century Mile Racetrack. Prior to 1961 (with the exception of 1949 and 1956), the BC Derby was run at Lansdowne Park Racetrack in Richmond, British Columbia. The BC Derby was not run in 2020 or 2021 owing to factors relating to the Covid 19 pandemic.
