Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trainer Mark Frostad and Sam-Son Farm go after
a second straight victory in Sunday's $1 million Queen's Plate at Woodbine
Race Course. The 1 1/4-mile race is the beginning a the Canadian Triple Crown.
Queen Elizabeth II will be in attendance for the 151st Queen's Plate.
Following last year's Queen's Plate win with Eye of the Leopard, trainer and
owner have entered three in Canada's premier thoroughbred event. A total of 13
Canadian-bred three-year-olds have been entered.
The three horses that Frostad will saddle are 3-1 favorite Hotep, Dark Cloud
Dancer and Giant's Tomb. Trainer and owner won the Plate in 2000 and 2001 with
Scatter the Gold and Dancethruthedawn, respectively, as well as last year.
Hotep will be ridden by Patrick Husbands from post 11. Husbands won the Plate
aboard Wando in 2003.
"He should be spot on for the race," noted Frostad. "He has a good stalking
style and a good kick."
The colt is coming off a second-place finish to Exhi in the Marine Stakes on
May 29. Hotep had won the Wando at Woodbine on May 8 in his first local start
of the year.
"He gets pretty revved up. He just gets on his toes and uses a lot of energy
in his races," said Frostad. "We wanted to give him five weeks into the Plate.
We wanted him in good order for the big race."
Earlier this year Hotep raced at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans. He was 10th
in the Risen Star Stakes and 11th in the Louisiana Derby. The colt has career
earnings of $187,740 with three wins in eight starts.
Dark Cloud Dancer is 15-1 in the morning-line and will be ridden by Javier
Castellano from post four. Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith has the mount on
Giant's Tomb. The chestnut colt is 12-1 in the program and will leave from
post eight. Smith rode Awesome Again to victory in the 1997 Plate.
Other Plate winners for Sam-Son Farm are Regal Intention (1988) and Dance
Smartly (1991). Frostad also saddled Victor Cooley to win the race in 1996.
Here is the complete field for the Queen's Plate in position order: Vicar
Street, Tyler Pizarro, 30-1; Who We Gunna Call, Gerry Olguin, 30-1: D's Wando,
Emma-Jayne Wilson, 20-1; Dark Cloud Dancer, Javier Castellano, 15-1; Big Red
Mike, Eurico Rosa da Silva, 6-1; Smart Sky, Chantal Sutherland, 30-1; Ghost
Fleet, Richard Dos Ramos, 20-1; Giant's Tomb, Mike Smith, 12-1; Mobilizer,
Jono Jones, 7-2; Roan Inish, Davy Moran, 9-2; Hotep, Patrick Husbands, 3-1;
Mobthewarrior, Emile Ramsammy, 10-1 and Moment of Majesty, Robert Landry,
12-1.
The two fillies, Roan Inish and Moment of Majesty, will each carry 121 pounds
while the 11 males will tote 126 pounds each. The winner will earn $600,000.
Post-time for the Queen's Plate is slated for 5:40 p.m. (et).
The Triple Crown will continue with the Prince of Wales Stakes on Sunday, July
25 at Fort Erie Racetrack and the Breeders' Stakes on Sunday, August 15 back
at Woodbine.
