165th Kings Plate, four other outstanding stakes highlight Friday Woodbine card
Field of 13 chase King’s Plate glory TORONTO, August 18, 2024 – Thirteen sophomores, including champion and multiple stakes winner My Boy Prince, will contest the $1 million King’s Plate, first leg of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown, which highlights a sensational stakes-filled Friday card of racing at Woodbine. The 165th edition of The King’s Plate, North America’s oldest continually run race, contested at 1 ¼ miles on the Woodbine all-weather course, was originally scheduled for August 17. However, torrential rains throughout the Greater Toronto Area caused unsafe racing conditions, prompting the rescheduling of the first event in the tri-surface series for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds to Friday. Bedard, trained by Kevin Attard for owners Men Racing LLC III, Madaket Stables LLC, and SF Racing LLC, was originally scratched from the Plate, but is now authorized to run as per the Alcohol Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Friday’s card, which gets underway at 1:05 p.m., showcases a quartet of standout stakes events, which were also slated to run on August 17: the bet365 King Edward (G2T) (one mile on the E.P. Taylor turf for 3-year-olds and up), $150,000 Bold Venture Stakes (G3) (6 ½ furlongs on the main track for 3-year-olds and up), $150,000 bet365 Soaring Free (6 ½ furlongs on the E.P. Taylor turf for 2-year-olds) and $150,000 Catch a Glimpse (6 ½ furlongs on the E.P. Taylor turf for 2-year-old fillies). The King Edward and Soaring Free, which were taken off the E.P. Taylor turf on Saturday, will both be run over that surface on Friday. Horses that were scratched on Saturday due to those races coming off the turf have been authorized to run on Friday. All rescheduled stakes races will be carded as they were on Saturday, including post positions

@tipperary11 · 5h The King’s Plate is now rescheduled on Friday instead of the logical choice of Saturday. Apparently Exec Chair Jim Lawson’s son Tim Lawson (VP of racing) is getting married on Sat? I’m sure they didn’t intentionally hurt the horse people because of the family wedding? #nepotism
