The '''King's Plate''' (known as the '''Queen's Plate''' from 1860 to 1901 and 1952 to 2022) is Canada's oldest [[thoroughbred horse race]] and the oldest continuously run race in North America,<ref>{{citation| url=http://www.thoroughbredreport.com/faq.html#H2|website=www.thoroughbredreport.com| title=Thoroughbred Report > Frequently Asked Questions > Horse Racing History, etc.| accessdate=14 July 2016}}</ref> having been founded in 1860.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://drf.uky.edu/catalog/1910s/drf1912051701/drf1912051701_1_10| title=Condensed History Of The Longest Established Race Of North America| date=17 May 1912| publisher=Daily Racing Form at University of Kentucky Archives| accessdate=14 January 2020}}</ref> It is run at a distance of {{convert|1+1/4|mi|km|0|abbr=off}} for a maximum of 17 three-year-old thoroughbred horses foaled in Canada.

The race is the first in the [[Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing|Canadian Triple Crown]], typically taking place each summer at [[Woodbine Racetrack]] in [[Etobicoke, Ontario]]. The event was scheduled in June or July until 2020, when it was postponed to September, due to government-imposed restrictions in place through the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada|COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/239425/queens-plate-postponed-due-to-coronavirus| title=Queen's Plate Postponed Due to Coronavirus| publisher=Blood Horse| accessdate=16 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=BH-MightyHeart>{{citation| title=Mighty Heart Leads Throughout in Queen's Plate Romp| url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/243442/mighty-heart-leads-throughout-in-queens-plate-romp| publisher=Blood Horse| accessdate=13 September 2020}}</ref> Since 2021, Woodbine ran the Queen's Plate, and now runs the King's Plate, in August.<ref>{{citation| url=https://newsroom.woodbine.com/queens-plate-2022-announced| title=Queen's Plate 2022 Announced| date=1 December 2021| publisher=Woodbine Entertainment Group| accessdate=22 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=cp071222>{{citation| url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/more/article/queens-plate-to-be-known-as-kings-plate-starting-in-2023/| author=Canadian Press| title=Queen's Plate to be known as King's Plate starting in 2023| date=7 December 2022| publisher=Sports Net|accessdate=21 April 2023}}</ref>

The race's name reflects the title of the reigning [[Monarchy of Canada|Canadian monarch]], following on [[Queen Victoria]]'s donation of the first cup. The [[Woodbine Entertainment Group]], which owns and operates the event, announced in December 2022 the race would be renamed the ''King's Plate'', following the accession of King [[Charles III]] on 8 September 2022.<ref name=cp071222/>

==History==
In 1859, the then-President of the Toronto Turf Club, Sir [[Casimir Gzowski]], petitioned [[Queen Victoria]] to grant a plate for a new race in the [[Canada West]] (today Ontario). With the monarch's approval, the first Queen's Plate was run on 27 June 1860, at the [[Carleton racetrack]] in [[Toronto]], with the prize of "a plate to the value of 50 [[guineas]]". Despite the name, the winning owner is presented with a gold cup, rather than a plate.<ref>{{citation| url=http://www.queensplate.com/Pages/History-of-Queen-Plate.aspx| title=History of Queen's Plate| publisher=Queens Plate| accessdate=2 July 2018}}</ref>

The race was originally restricted to three-year-olds bred in Canada that had never won a stakes race and was run in heats, with a horse having to win two heats to be declared the winner. The race conditions have since evolved; heat racing was discontinued in 1879 and, around the same time, the race was opened to stakes winners (some early records are incomplete). For many years, the race was open to older horses and, in the early 1900s, was even open to two-year-olds. The King's Plate is currently restricted to three-year-olds foaled in Canada. The owner must pay a nomination fee ($500 in 2018) in February, a second subscription fee ($1,500 in 2018) in May, and a final entry fee ($10,000) prior to the race.<ref name=WildRose/><ref name=Results /><ref>{{cite web| url=https://woodbine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018-Canadian-Triple-Crown-Nomination-Form.pdf| title=Nomination Form| publisher=Woodbine| accessdate=2 July 2018}}</ref>

The first four renewals were run at Carleton racetrack. After that, the Queen's Plate became a "movable feast", with politicians from all over modern-day Ontario vying to host the race in their constituency. Fifteen different race tracks hosted the race over the next two decades, with distances varying from one to two miles.<ref name="WildRose">{{cite web |last1=Nevills |first1=Joe |title=How Wild Rose won the Queen's Plate in 1867 - and again 19 years later |url=https://thoroughbredracing.com/articles/how-wild-rose-won-queens-plate-1867-and-again-19-years-later/ |website=Thoroughbred Racing Commentary |access-date=2 July 2018}}</ref> In 1883, the race moved to [[Old Woodbine Race Course|Old Woodbine]], located in eastern Toronto along Lake Ontario. The race continued to be held at Old Woodbine until that track was replaced by "New" [[Woodbine Racetrack|Woodbine]] in northern Toronto in 1956. The race has been run at Woodbine ever since. In 2006, Woodbine changed the track surface for the main track from natural dirt to a synthetic surface known as Polytrack. In 2016, the surface was changed to Tapeta.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mauntah |first1=Richard |title=Woodbine ready to showcase new Tapeta racing surface |url=http://torontosun.com/2016/04/07/woodbine-ready-to-showcase-new-tapeta-racing-surface/wcm/0aedb44e-7120-43d4-9ca4-acd812e56acb |newspaper=Toronto Sun |access-date=2 July 2018 |date=8 April 2016}}</ref><ref name=BH-MightyHeart/> Because of the change in racing surfaces, Woodbine maintains several sets of track and stakes records. The fastest time for the race on the original dirt surface at the current {{cvt|1+1/4|mi|km|0}} distance is 2:01 4/5, set by [[Kinghaven Farms]]' [[Izvestia (horse)|Izvestia]] in 1990. The current stakes record (the fastest all-time) is 2:01.48, set by [[Moira (horse)|Moira]] in 2022 on Tapeta.<ref name=cbc210822>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/163rd-queens-plate-2022-recap-1.6557836|title=Moira wins 163rd running of $1-million Queen's Plate|last=Ralph|first=Dan|date=21 August 2022|website=cbc.ca|publisher=The Canadian Press|access-date=22 August 2022}}</ref><ref name=Results />
 
In 1902, the year after Victoria's death, the race became the King's Plate, after her successor, [[Edward VII]]. It became the Queen's Plate again during the reign of [[Elizabeth II]] (1952–2022).<ref>[http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/queens-plate/ The Canadian Encyclopedia]. Published 2012-08-20, last edited 2014-03-07.</ref> In 2022, it reverted to the King's Plate upon the accession of [[Charles III]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The King's Plate: Woodbine announces Canada's oldest thoroughbred race to get name change for 2023 |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-the-kings-plate-woodbine-announces-canadas-oldest-thoroughbred-race-to/ |access-date=7 December 2022 |work=The Globe and Mail |date=7 December 2022}}</ref>

Horses owned by [[Windfields Farm]] have won the Plate eleven times, but the most successful was the stable owned by [[Joseph E. Seagram]], a prominent [[Distilled beverage|distiller]] from [[Waterloo, Ontario]]. Seagram's stable won the Plate on twenty occasions between 1891 and 1935 including eight times in a row between 1891 and 1898, and ten times in eleven years from 1891 to 1901.

At the 1925 King's Plate, [[W. A. Hewitt]] and his son [[Foster Hewitt]] called the first horse race broadcast on radio.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Podnieks|first1=Andrew|author-link1=Andrew Podnieks|author2=Hockey Hall of Fame|author-link2=Hockey Hall of Fame|title=Silverware|year=2005|publisher=Fenn Publishing|location=Toronto, Ontario|isbn=1-55168-296-6|pages=28–29}}</ref>

In 1964, [[Northern Dancer]], the first Canadian-bred horse to win the [[Kentucky Derby]], also won the Queen's Plate in his final race.<ref>{{cite web|title=Northern Dancer a Very Unlikely Hero|url=http://horseracinghalloffame.com/northern-dancer-timeline/|website=horseracinghalloffame.com|access-date=3 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026160943/http://horseracinghalloffame.com/northern-dancer-timeline/|archive-date=26 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2006, [[Josie Carroll]] became the first woman [[horse trainer|trainer]] to win the Queen's Plate. The following year, [[Emma-Jayne Wilson]] became the first female [[jockey]] to win the race.

The 2004-2013 Plate winners had little success in their subsequent racing careers. This compares unfavourably to the 1990s when a number of Plate winners had considerable success thereafter, including [[With Approval]], [[Izvestia (horse)|Izvestia]], [[Dance Smartly]] and [[Awesome Again]]. The more recent Queen's Plate winners have also been successful, including [[Lexie Lou]] (who became a multiple graded stakes winner in Canada and the US after winning the Plate in 2014) and [[Shaman Ghost]] (a Grade I winner in America after winning the Plate in 2015).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Shields |first1=Emily |title=Why the Queen's Plate is so much more than just Canada's most famous race |url=https://thoroughbredracing.com/articles/why-queens-plate-so-much-more-just-canadas-most-famous-horse-race/ |website=Thoroughbred Racing Commentary |access-date=25 June 2018}}</ref>

Nick Eaves, former President and CEO of [[Woodbine Entertainment Group]], announced during the 2012 Queen's Plate post position draw that Woodbine Racetrack might be forced to close in April 2013 due to the cancellation of Slots at Racetrack program partnerships between Ontario's racetracks and the [[Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation]]. Eaves said that if Woodbine is not open, "there won't be a Queen's Plate."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/70734/eaves-closure-of-woodbine-possible-in-2013|title=Eaves: Closure of Woodbine Possible in 2013|author=Campbell, Alex|date=21 June 2012|publisher=BloodHorse.com|access-date=22 June 2012}}</ref> A new funding agreement was put in place in March 2013, which ensured the continuation of horse racing at Woodbine.

39 fillies have won the Plate, beginning with Brunette in 1864. The 2017 running was won by the filly Holy Helena, while the 2018 running was won by Wonder Gadot.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tbheritage.com/TurfHallmarks/racecharts/Can/QueensPlate.html|title=Queen's Plate Winners|website=www.tbheritage.com|access-date=2017-07-20}}</ref> Two chestnut fillies both by the name of Wild Rose have won the Queen's Plate, in 1867 and 1886. They were the daughter and great-great-granddaughter respectively of Yellow Rose, who also produced the first Queen's Plate winner Don Juan.<ref name=WildRose />

The latest filly to win the Queen's Plate was Caitlinhergrtness in 2024.<ref>{{cite news |title=Caitlinhergrtness wins 165th King’s Plate at Woodbine |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/horse-racing/article/caitlinhergrtness-wins-165th-kings-plate-at-woodbine/ |access-date=August 23, 2024 |work=Sportsnet |agency=Canadian Press |date=August 23, 2024}}</ref>

===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>

Various other members of the [[Monarchy of Canada#Royal family and house|Canadian royal family]] have attended, beginning with [[John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll|John Campbell, Marquess of Lorne]], and his wife, [[Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll|Princess Louise]], in 1881, when Lorne was serving as [[governor general of Canada]] and the couple was touring Ontario.<ref>{{citation| url=http://www.woodbineentertainment.com/queensplate/History.aspx| title=History > History of Queen's Plate| publisher=Woodbine Entertainment Group| accessdate=2 July 2009| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614063730/http://www.woodbineentertainment.com/queensplate/history.aspx| archive-date=14 June 2009}}</ref> Queen [[Elizabeth II]]'s fourth and final visit to the race was in early July 2010.<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/2010/07/04/big_red_mike_takes_queens_plate.html|  last=Morrison| first=Jennifer| title=Big Red Mike takes Queen's Plate| date=4 July 2010| newspaper=Toronto Star|accessdate=3 July 2016}}</ref>
