rdf:langString 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 1+1⁄16 miles (8.5 furlongs), it is open to two-year-old horses. Raced during the latter part of November or early December, the ungraded stakes race offers a purse of Can$125,000. 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. The Display stakes was run in two divisions in 1959. There was no race in 1993. Since inception, it has been contested at various distances: * 6 furlongs: 1956 at Old Woodbine Race Course * 7 furlongs: 1957–1958 at Old Woodbine Race Course * 8 furlongs (1 mile): 1959-1960 Old Woodbine Race Course, 1977–1992 at Greenwood Raceway * 8.5 furlongs (1+1⁄16 miles): 1969–1976 at Greenwood Raceway, 1994 to present at Woodbine Racetrack * 9 furlongs (1+1⁄8 miles): 1961–1963 at Old Woodbine Race Course * 9.5 furlongs: 1964–1968 at Greenwood Raceway
