The South Ocean Stakes is a Canadian Thoroughbred horse race held annually at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.
A race for two-year-old fillies on Tapeta synthetic dirt over a distance of a mile and a sixteen, it offers a purse of $100,000.
[1] Part of the Ontario Sire Stakes program, it is restricted to horses sired by a stallion certified as standing in the Province of Ontario.
[3] The stakes was named for the racemare South Ocean, a multiple stakes winner bred by E. P. Taylor at his Windfields Farm in Ontario.
Again with Northern Dancer, South Ocean produced Northernette, a Canadian Champion at age two and three and a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee who herself became an influential broodmare.
