Can't wait!

Kinda cool that Queen Elizabeth is going to be there.

Woodbine always does such a nice job with their site(s)...

How about you?

Artic Fern, one of the top contenders for Sunday's 151st running of the Queen's Plate, will not contest the Canadian classic.

Owned by Gus Schickedanz, Artic Fern, trained by Mike Keogh, suffered an injury on Monday that will prevent him from racing in the Plate.

Is that the horse who broke his maiden first out at Keeneland from the far outside at a decent price? Has he ran since?

SHE has run twice and most recently finished third in the Woodbine Oaks. She's a terrific bet-against in this race.

Am I thinking of the right maiden race then? Terranova had one and I think the Toner Ghostzapper was in that race?

[hockey2315]

That's it - she won her debut by 13 1/4 with a 99 Beyer. . . Then went to WO and won an allowance by 3 3/4 with a 98. Most recently she was 3rd, beaten 1 1/2 as the 2-5 favorite, in the Woodbine Oaks. She got a 90 for that effort.

Yes, she debuted on Lexington day. Terranova's NJ bred was beaten at nothing to five in her next start in NJ on Memorial Day. Toner's horse was La Cloche, who won the 4th at Belmont yesterday.

Embur's Song won a N1X at Woodbine in her next start but weakened late in the Woodbine Oaks. The likelihood of her wiring the Plate is very slim in my opnion but you can guarantee she'll be well bet.

She owns the sire of Mobilizer and is quite a horsewoman I have heard/read. It would be quite fitting if Attfield a transpanted Brit and now a Canadian if he would recieve the trophy from her majesty for a race named after her. Adds a certain touch of class to the event.

CBC will televise the Queen's Plate in a special HD presentation from 4:30 pm ET - 6:00 pm ET. Post time for the race is 5:38 pm ET.

Ron MacLean will host the telecast with analyst Jim Bannon. Reporting on the action are Elliotte Friedman, Alison Smith, Sandy Hawley, and Renee Kierans on horseback. The producer is Jeff Pearlman. Dan Loiselle will call the race.

Woodbine Entertainment will once again use the popular "draft" style post-position selection process for the 151st running of the Queen's Plate, North America's oldest continuously run stakes race.

The draft draw, first utilized for the 1998 edition of the Plate, allows the owners and trainers of each runner in the race to choose their horse's post-position.

The draw is at 9:30 am Thursday.
