A non-exhaustive list of thoroughbred burials at Windfields Farm in Oshawa include:
- Archers Bay (1995–2002)
- Canadiana (1950–1971)
- New Providence (1956–1981)

Numerous other lesser-known horses are buried at the separate "Trillium" gravesite located slightly to the north of the core of the farm. The status of this gravesite is in question due to its location which will soon border on residential development taking place on former Windfields Farm property.
Lesser yet known horses were also commonly buried at various other places on the once vast Windfields property, almost all in unmarked graves.
