An Ontario Sire Stakes, it is a restricted race for two-year-old Colts and Geldings. It is raced over a distance of 6 furlongs on Polytrack and currently carries a purse of $125,000.

Inaugurated in 1976 as a five-and-a-half furlong sprint, it was modified to its present six furlong distance in 1980.

The race was named to honor E. P. Taylor's 1951 Canadian Horse of the Year and important sire, Bull Page.
