Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Y12 running of the Queen's Plate, the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown! The world watched to see if there woulc be a TC winner or Turf TC winner and sadly, there was none this year, but the fillies sure did put on a show in the Tiara with Paradise Island claiming the title. All that is left to ask now is will there be a Canadian TC winner? Well we will soon find out, as the best three year olds in the industry come out to strut their stuff.

The weather today is a hot 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The hands and owners will need to be careful to not allow their horses to overheat.

<sup>Hello everybody and welcome to the Y12 running of the Queens' Plate, the horses are all looking a picture in the paddock! Let us take a look at the entrants today.

Starting in Gate One is the winner of the Preakness Stakes this year, Instant Success. This vigorous little colt proved that he could when he defied all the odds, beating out Euphoria's Warrior and Eternal Phantom. He is the smallest horse in the field, yet he is very powerful. He ran a good morning workout and looks fantastic today! Lets see what he can pull out the bag.

Starting in Gate Two today is an Akita Rose entrant, Apollo Bear. This colt ran an absolute blinder in the Belmont Turf Classic and has stamped himself down as a real threat to today. We saw him run his morning workout for the race five days ago, and he looks ready, willing, and fit as ever. Can he beat the two Triple Crown contenders today? Let us see.

Finally, in Gate Three is the Kentucky Derby winner, Eternal Phantom. This filly ran a very nice workout this week, clocking up a good time. She is a strong contender with some powerful race experience on her side. She is the twin sister of Midnight Thriller, who ran second in the Coaching Club American Oaks. This filly drew with Paradise Island (who took the Triple Tiara) in the final leg also, and she looks beautiful out there today.

They're all loaded... they're in the gate.

And they're off and racing for the Queens' Plate! Eternal Phantom broke best and will go for that lead under Krystal Yhate, and it will be Eternal Phantom to take that lead. Apollo Bear also broke well and is there in second right behind the Derby winner, and Instant Success was slow to break as usual but he is running well back in third place. They go the first quarter in twenty three and four fifths, not at all quick for this ten furlong event. Still it is Eternal Phantom setting the pace, Apollo Bear racing quite handily behind in second, and six lengths back in third is Instant Success, the only closer of the field since the scratch of Euphoria's Warrior. They're really plodding along now as they go the half in fourty seven flat, what a slow race today, but surely slow and steady wins the race, not usually in this case ladies and gentlemen!

They have five furlongs left to go now as they begin to turn it on now, and Eternal Phantom is quickening the pace but Apollo Bear isn't letting her get away, and Jacob Donovan hasn't asked Instant Success to move yet as he plods on at the back. They are rounding the far turn and Jacon Donovan says come on let's go on Instant Success as they begin to wind the pace up and close on the leaders, and they're into the stretch and Eternal Phantom still has the lead, Apollo Bear is right alongside of her, and here comes Instant Success under a full head of steam on the extreme outside! All three side by side in the Canadian Triple Crown and it's extremely close! Eternal Phantom looking extremely tired plugs along and there is nothing left for Apollo Bear, but both horses are running hard now and trying to get our new leader, Instant Success, and he draws clear and wins by two lengths.

WIN: Instant Success
PLACE: Eternal Phantom [nose]
SHOW: Apollo Bear

The problem with Phantie today was that her workout was SO overconfident that it bugged me a little bit. She only just got second over Apollo Bear as she was more experience and had the major race experience too. Apollo Bear wasn't ready to face these two today, but he will definitely perform well in the near future. Tough race guys.</sup>

[S u N f r O s T ~]

Quick note - Infini was technically scratched out of the Belmont Turf Classic afterwards...

And blah. I didn't mean to come across as overconfident. If anything, Krystal was reassuring herself of her filly's abilities. But hey, not complaining, second is fine. Congrats Alexia and good race Kirsty.
