The Shepperton Stakes is a
Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early August at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. An Ontario Sire Stakes, it is a restricted race for horses age three and older. Raced on all-weather synthetic dirt over a distance of six and one-half furlongs, the Shepperton Stakes currently carries a purse of $100,000.[1]
The race is named in honor of

In 2005, Sophia's Prince's winning time broke a forty-four-year-old track record.[2]
