Woodbine Entertainment released the nominations for the three-race series, which consists of the Aug. 21 Queen's Plate, Sept. 13 Prince of Wales S. and culminates with the Oct. 2 Breeders' S.

The total number of nominees is down from last year's high of 125, but up from only 92 in 2020.

Among the top nominees to the series are: Messier (Empire Maker), Ironstone (Mr Speaker), God of Love (Cupid), The Minkster (English Channel), and Silent Runner (Silent Name {Jpn}).

Nominations were also released for the 67th running of the Woodbine Oaks, presented by Budweiser. Sixty-five Canadian-bred fillies have been nominated for the Oaks, which will be run July 24.
