Woodbine Entertainment will stage the opening leg of Canada's Triple Crown on Sept. 12 at Woodbine Racetrack, meaning the $1-million Queen’s Plate will remain North America’s longest, continuously run stakes race.
TORONTO — The $1-million Queen’s Plate will remain North America’s longest, continuously run stakes race.
Woodbine Entertainment was forced to postpone the April 18 start of its ’20 thoroughbred card because of the outbreak. Last week, Woodbine CEO Jim Lawson divulged plans to begin live thoroughbred racing June 6 at the Toronto oval without fans. The Queen’s Plate will be held after the start of the American Triple Crown. The Kentucky Derby, which is traditionally run on the first Saturday in May, will now go Sept. 5.
