Woodbine Entertainment and the Japan Racing Association have partnered on a race exchange sponsorship agreement for this year’s Grade 2 Canadian Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack and Paradise Stakes at Tokyo Racecourse.
The $500,000 Paradise Stakes, Presented by Woodbine Entertainment, will be held on Sunday, June 24 at Tokyo Racecourse in Japan. Well-regarded horses such as Mitra and Red Spada have gone on to be multiple graded stakes winners after earning victories in the seven-furlong turf stakes for three-year-olds and up.
“Woodbine Entertainment applauds the Japan Racing Association as an international leader in the horse racing industry,” said Jonathan Zammit, Vice President of Thoroughbred Racing Operations at Woodbine. “We look forward to presenting the Paradise Stakes this June in Tokyo and cultivating a long-term partnership in horse racing with the Japan Racing Association.”
