The $175,000, Grade 2 Connaught Cup Stakes is a seven-eighths of a mile turf race at Woodbine that has produced some nice upsets in recent years with three of the last five winners paying $16.70 or more for a $2 win bet and an average payout of more than $19. Only one favorite has won the Connaught Cup in that five-year stretch and that was tepid 3.10-1 favorite Tower of Texas in 2017.
