Whether you like betting on favorites or longshots, the $2 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies is the perfect race to play. As counterintuitive as it might seem, it’s also a fact backed up by stats.

The final Grade 1 race of the Canadian Thoroughbred racing season takes place on Sunday, when Woodbine hosts the $600,000, Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes.

It’s safe to say the E.P. Taylor will end the top-level portion of the local racing calendar on a high note. The 1 1/4-mile turf test has attracted a deep field of 10 fillies and mares, including half a dozen graded stakes winners.
