What the Nation is saying about the 2010 Queen's Plate (RS)...

It was a hot, humid Sunday as the Queen made her fourth appearance at Woodbine to enjoy the 151st running of the Queen's Plate. Following an exhausting wire-to-wire route by Big Red Mike, the Queen would present the the race trophy to jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva and the Terra Racing Stable in the wi...Read More
With England's Queen Elizabeth II in attendance for the first time since 1997, front-running Big Red Mike stole the 151st renewal of the Queen's Plate with a gate-to-wire win by 1 1/2 lengths for jockey Eurico Rosa Da Silva at Woodbine July 4. Big Red Mike, who provided owner/breeder Terra Racing St...Read More
To win the Queen's Plate you need a horse that can survive a ten furlong battle while carrying 126lbs. Fortunately for trainer Greg De Gannes, he has a warrior on his side - Mobthewarrior, that is."I wouldn't trade places with anybody," said De Gannes on the Woodbine backstretch earlier this week...Read More

  • cugel the clever · The phrase "much the best" doesn't apply here. It's a fairly wide open race with good arguments to be made for half of the field. Not much early speed in the race which means that Big Red Mike could manage to steal it on the pace if the others let him get away with a slow front-running pace like the Trial. · 1082 days ago ·

  • cugel the clever · As I predicted, they let Big Red set a leisurely pace on the lead, and he won gate-to-wire. A bargain at 5:1. · 1080 days ago ·

The Queen’s Plate is not going to be an easy race to handicap this year as thirteen horses all try ten furlongs for the first time. In the mix you have one maiden (Vicar Street), two fillies (Roan Inish, Moment of Majesty), three Sam-Son Farms colts (Dark Cloud Dancer, Giant’s Tomb, Hotep) and a dis...Read More
Queen's Plate contender Smart Sky, owned by the C. Scott Abbott Racing Stable - a co-creator of the popular board game Trivial Pursuit - will look to become an answer to a pie-piece question on Sunday.

When it comes to analyzing the Queen's Plate, handicappers go back and forth trying to sort out if the pace scenario will better benefit a front-runner, a stalker or a closer. In Sunday's Gallop For The Guineas, Sam-Son Farms conditioner Mark Frostad has effectively tapped the "ALL" button with his ...Read More
Stakes winner Hotep is the probable favorite as he makes his first start in Canadian restricted company in the $1-million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine on Sunday.

When the Queen attends the horse races at Royal Ascot, she arrives in a horse-drawn carriage and sits in the Royal Enclosure apart from the madding crowd. The same arrangements await her at Woodbine for the Queen’s Plate on Sunday. Only there in Toronto her procession will be led by a horse guard...Read More

  • humphrey · A great book by a great fellow was just updated with the 150th running of the race. Lou Cauz, long the director of the Canadian Thoroughbred Hall of Fame, has written the definitive book abou this race entitled The Plate 150 years of Royal Tradion from Don Juan to Eye of the Leopard. I mentioned that I liked the name floss and he immediately answered: "That was 1871 wasn' it?" · 1084 days ago ·

With a line of 1-2-1 from four lifetime starts, including a second place effort last out in the June 13 Plate Trial Stakes at Woodbine, Mobilizer is likely to be popular at the windows on Plate day. And the colt’s royal connections make him worth a second glance.Read More
