Reseña del libro "The Plate: 150 Years of Royal Tradition from Don Juan to Eye of the Leopard (en Inglés)"

The Queen's 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 Canada's 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 Canada's most famous, one-day social and sporting event. This book explores the colourful history of the Queen's Plate through words and archival photographs.
