Northern Dancer Turf Stakes

The Northern Dancer Turf Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario in mid-September.

A Grade I event with a current purse of Can$300,000, it is run at a distance of 1+1⁄2 miles on Woodbine's E. P. Taylor turf course.

Inaugurated as the Niagara Handicap, it was first raced on dirt at the Fort Erie Racetrack.

The race became part of the Breeders' Cup program and the name was amended to the Niagara Breeders' Cup Handicap.

In 2006, the event was renamed to honour Canada's most famous racehorse, Northern Dancer.
