The Empire Trillium Series will head to Woodbine Racetrack in 2027 for six stakes races — four on Tapeta, the others on turf — from April to July.  The events at Woodbine will be for three year-olds and up and include two $300,000 races, one each for colts and fillies, over one mile on the E.P. Taylor Turf Course. This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 4, 2026. Advertisement Advertise With Us Tweet Share Print Email Read Later Report Error Submit a Tip
