Sired by Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee Windfields, he was out of the mare Bolesteo. Trained by John Passero, during his racing career Canadian Champ set three track records at Woodbine Racetrack and equalled another there as well as at Gulfstream Park in Florida. In his two-year-old season, he won 1955's Coronation Futurity Stakes and the Cup and Saucer Stakes, the two most important races for his age group in Canada. Sent south to Saratoga Race Course, he ran second in the United States Hotel Stakes to Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's colt Career Boy. The following year, he won Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate, as well as the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Breeders' Stakes, which constituted the Triple Crown series created three years later. His 1956 performances earned Canadian Champ Canadian Horse of the Year honours, and he retired as the richest Thoroughbred in Canadian racing history. Canadian Champ was ridden by jockeys David Stevenson and Eugene Rodriguez. When he raced in 1957 at age four, Canadian Champ's best results were a win in the Swynford Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack and three stakes race seconds. Stud recordStanding at E. P. Taylor's Windfields Farm in Oshawa, Ontario, between 1959 and 1968, Canadian Champ notably sired the 1963 Canadian Triple Crown winner, Canebora, and the 1966 Queen's Plate winner, Titled Hero. In 1969, he was sent to a breeding operation in Japan, where he died in 1978 at the age of twenty-five. In 2007, Canadian Champ was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. References
