One of the biggest races of the year in Canada takes place on Sunday in the annual Queens Plate Stakes. It is the 15th time that race has been run, and it can often be counted on to see some of the top three year olds, in general, in the game, since breeding in Ontario is popular here.
Month: August 2021
No Standouts in Wide Open ONT Colleen Stakes
Sunday will be an exciting day of racing north of the border, and as we get ready for the Queen’s Plate, we have much more on the undercard. One of those races is the twelfth running of the ONT Colleen Stakes, a mile long turf race for three year old fillies.
Enormous Weight Allowance May Make Difference in The Iselin Stakes
Only five horses will be going to the gate for the Iselin Stakes, but that does not mean a lack of quality. Two horses have amassed over $1,300.000 in earnings, with another just a bit shy of $700.000. Therefore, we should still have a good and entertaining race on Saturday.
