Editing King's Plate (section)

===Triple Crown dispute with Fort Erie Race Track===
Since 2021, a year after the Queen's Plate was moved to September from its usual June or July spot due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada]], Woodbine has run the race in August. As a result, [[Fort Erie Race Track]], which runs the second of [[Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing|Canada's Triple Crown races]], the [[Prince of Wales Stakes]], moved their race to after the King's Plate. In April 2023, a few months after Woodbine announced that the 2023 King's Plate would again be run in August, Fort Erie filed a grievance with the Canadian Trade Commission over what it called business practices that were "unfair and clearly predatory." A member of the [[Fort Erie, Ontario|Fort Erie]] Council suggested that the COVID pandemic was over and that the King's Plate should move back to June, adding that continuing to run the race in August would not be in Fort Erie Race Track's best economic interests, as it would result in the Prince of Wales Stakes being run after [[Labour Day (Canada)|Labour Day]], when the key summer tourism season is over. Woodbine responded that Fort Erie's allegations are "baseless and without merit" and that they would defend themselves if requested by the Trade Commission.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/267960/fort-erie-woodbine-at-odds-over-triple-crown-schedule|title=Fort Erie, Woodbine at Odds Over Triple Crown Schedule|last=Angst|first=Frank|date=18 April 2023|publisher=The Blood-Horse |access-date=21 April 2023}}</ref>
