Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The Queens Plate was inaugurated, with royal blessing, on Wednesday, June 27, 1860, at the Carleton track in Toronto, located in bucolic surroundings near what is now the traffic-strangled southwestern corner of Keele and Dundas streets. There is no reason to believe that Queen Victoria was a wild-eyed devotee of horse racing. However, Her Majesty granted the petition of the little turf club in the boisterous Upper Canada community (the population of Toronto was 44,425) and offered as an annual prize, a plate to the value of Fifty Guineas. And thus Canadian horse racing was established as the sport of royalty. Today, the Queen's Plate is the first jewel in Canadas Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing and the longest continuously run stakes race in North America. It takes place every June, and the first-place purse is $1 million. The Plate is unquestionably Canadas most famous, one-day social and sporting event. This book explores the colourful history of the Queens Plate through words and archival photographs. Inaugurated with royal blessing in 1860, the Queen's Plate is the longest continuously run stakes race in North America and the first jewel in Canada's Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. This compilation is the first full history of how this prestigious annual event evolved from a petition granted by Queen Victoria to a little turf club in Toronto to the country's most famous, one-day social and sporting event. Featuring many never-before-seen archival photographs and profiles of every winner, each year of the event is presented and examined in detail. Though the original site is now a traffic-congested street corner and the first-place prize has changed from "a plate to the value of fifty Guineas" to a purse of one million dollars, the Queen's Plate remains the event that established Canadian horse racing as "the sport of royalty."
