What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Queen's Plate (C1)...

Queen's Plate and Oaks champion Inglorious failed to notch her first graded stakes win on Sunday in the $250,000 Selene Stakes over her home track -- a surface she had previously been unbeaten over.Read More
  • yukichan · I was rather shocked that Inglorious did not fire ... she was bumped around in the stretch, but it was rather minor and as your wrote, a true champ at the top of her game should have finished much closer, if not first. It makes me wonder if something is not amiss with her? · 246 days ago ·

  • Woodbine · Woodbinemile: No intend of painting as second rate. It's just rare that they're able to tally Grade 1 races in the United States. When the Alabama is said and done, we'll all be asking why Inglorious didn't stick around for a few more races. That's just my opinion.

  • Woodbine · I don't think there are a lot of questions with who will or won't handle turf. Most have been on and have handled it well in maiden or allowance wins. Obviously Pender Harbour has not. He's Kris s line on top and Northern Dancer on bottom. Even if he takes to turf, the distance or the regression may get better of him. Seawatch also a turf enigma. Woodman could go either way, no? · 297 days ago ·

  • Woodbinemile · Couldn't have agreed more. This is a BIG slap to all of us Canadian Horse racing fans. As well as the American, and Euro fans who watched the Queen's Plate, and take an interest in our TC. A track such as The Fort REALLY needed this boost, but unfortunately the connections thought otherwise. To bad, because the POW was a HELL of a race this past weekend, and surely she would have beaten Pender Harbour, and Bowman's Causeway. · 316 days ago ·

  • Woodbine · This same angle was used in last year's Queen's Plate, as I recall. But because Big Red Mike won wire to wire there was no drama like this year. You just see Eurico and his chestnut grind all the way around and Hotep make a bit of a bid. As you say Brian, this year the angle shows Inglorious emerge from the pack, circle, and bound away late. · 336 days ago ·

On an overcast afternoon at Woodbine, the filly Inglorious overcame 16 male rivals, carrying 121lbs over a mile and a quarter, to capture to the 152nd running of the Queen's Plate. It was a stunning afternoon of racing which enticed the bettors to pour in $8.8 million on the day,…Read More
