Ladies of the Lawn Series Returns at Woodbine

The Ladies of the Lawn series, which will now feature a $250,000 bonus, will return to Woodbine in 2022. Launched in 2019, the Ladies of the Lawn Series consists of three premier turf races for fillies and mares: the July 24 GII Dance Smartly S., the Aug. 21 GII Canadian S. and the Oct. 8 GI E.P. Taylor S.

The owner of any horse to sweep all three races will receive a $250,000 bonus. Should no horse sweep the series, a $50,000 bonus will be paid out to the connections of the horse that accumulates the most points during the series.

“The Ladies of the Lawn Series has received tremendous feedback over the last few years,” said Tim Lawson, Director of Thoroughbred Racing for Woodbine. “The addition of a $250,000 bonus should provide not only incentive for owners and trainers to point their fillies and mares at these premier races, but also raise the profile of this series with horseplayers, fans and racing participants.”
