What the Nation is saying about the Queen's Plate...

Eddie Arcaro set the record for most number of Preakness Stakes wins by a jockey, six, when he rode Bold Ruler to victory for Wheatley Stable.Read More

Dixie Strike doesn't have to be at her best to win the Selene. But she could also run a careeer race and still lose. Either way, it's an important prep for more lucrative dances down the road.Read More

With a close proximity to Canada, a country where many of my relatives reside, and a place where I spent many summer afternoons venturing to the track with my father, I thought I'd give this current blog post a taste of some North-of-the-Border flavor. Canadians, one and all, can be proud of their h...Read More

PERFECT TAY landed himself on the short list of current QUEEN’S PLATE contenders with a gritty maiden win in his 2nd career start at Gulfstream yesterday/ The chestnut son of Perfect Soul (Ire) – Loch Tay, by Rahy was up to win by a neck with a 79 Beyer Figure in the 1 1/16 mile grass race.

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? · 247 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.

The homebred Kinghaven Farm runner was an outstanding racehorse right from the beginning. With Approval, trained by Roger Attfield, was undefeated in both of his starts as a two-year-old in 1988.

  • Woodbine · Nice piece on With Approval. I remember being so upset thaat I had to miss his Breeders' Stakes score. I was 14 and my dad was coaching my brother's baseball team. I remember cheering for them to lose so they wouldn't make it to Sunday and we could go to the track and see him! · 298 days ago ·

  • 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? · 298 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. · 317 days ago ·

Whew, that was a hectic week with so many stories to ponder, lots of things to write and in the end, it was a good result to Canada’s most famous race.

  • 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. · 337 days ago ·
