The Breeders' Stakes is a Canadian stakes race for Thoroughbred race horses first run in 1889. Since 1959 it has been the third race in the Canadian Triple Crown for three-year-olds. Held annually in August at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, the Breeders' Stakes follows the June running of the Queen's Plate and the July Prince of Wales Stakes.

At a distance of one-and-a-half miles, the Breeders' Stakes is the longest of the three Triple Crown races and is the only jewel raced on turf (the Queen's Plate is raced on Polytrack and the Prince of Wales on a dirt track).

In 1973 Saskatoon native, Joan Phipps made history aboard Singing Spirit. Though she finished 11th, she became the first female jockey to compete in one of the Canadian Triple Crown races. It would be 15 years before another woman would get a shot in a Triple Crown event. Twenty-six years after Phipps landmark race, Laurie Gulas rode Free Vacation to victory at the 1999 Breeders' Stakes, becoming the first female jockey to win this, or any Canadian Triple Crown race.

In 2004, Catherine Day Phillips became the first woman trainer to win the Breeders' Stakes.

A Triple Crown champion emerged in its first year of existence and in the ensuing 46 years, six more three-year-olds have equalled the feat, with four of them doing so in a five-year period from 1989 to 1993. Five horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown but lost on the grass in the Breeders' Stakes. They are:

The 1994 edition was held at ​1 5⁄8 miles at Fort Erie Race Track due to a $12 million reconstruction of the Woodbine Turf course.
