INTRODUCING THE QUEEN\u2019S PLATE @ HOME<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Building new traditions for one of Canada\u2019s oldest traditions and most prestigious events<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

TORONTO, August 20, 2020 \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment is excited to share its plans for the 161st<\/sup> Queen\u2019s Plate that will bring one of Canada\u2019s most prestigious events and storied traditions directly to fans like never before.<\/p>\n

The digital-first experience will largely live on Woodbine Entertainment\u2019s Instagram channel @WoodbineTB<\/a> and will feature content anchored in the event\u2019s longstanding traditions of fashion, gourmet food, music, wagering and world-class Thoroughbred racing.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s QP @ Home experience is captured in this video.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kicking off at Noon ET on Saturday, September 12, The Queen\u2019s Plate @ Home will engage with fans from coast-to-coast and culminate with the live broadcast of The $1 million Queen\u2019s Plate at 4:30 p.m. ET on TSN and CTV.<\/p>\n

To help bring the experience to fans at home, Woodbine Entertainment has partnered with a stable of multi-platform content creators, celebrities and musicians, who will contribute unique #QueensPlate inspired content throughout the day.<\/p>\n

North America\u2019s longest continually run stakes race is for three-year-old Thoroughbreds foaled in Canada and is the first jewel of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown. The event was originally scheduled for June 27 prior to being postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to ongoing health and safety precautions regarding COVID-19, Woodbine Entertainment has made the decision not to open The Queen\u2019s Plate to the general public. All ticket purchasers will be provided with a full refund through Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very much looking forward to creating new traditions with our fans for an event that is already steeped in tradition and has a history dating back to 1860,\u201d said Jim Lawson<\/a>, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. \u201cWhile it\u2019s unfortunate we can\u2019t welcome patrons in our stands this year, we are inviting Canadians to experience The Queen\u2019s Plate safely from home with family and friends in their bubble.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s Plate @ Home will be hosted on Instagram by The Social<\/a>\u2019s Melissa Grelo<\/a> and will lead into the national broadcast of the 161st<\/sup> running of The Queen\u2019s Plate on TSN and CTV. The networks\u2019 coverage is hosted by TSN\u2019s Brian Williams<\/a>, alongside Laura Diakun<\/a> and Jason Portuondo<\/a> at the Racing Night Live desk, and reporters Brodie Lawson<\/a> and Chad Rozema<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The world has seen so many challenges in 161 years and the Queen’s Plate has persevered through all of them,\u201d said Grelo. \u201cI’m excited to enjoy and share the race with fans in a new and exciting way this year!”<\/p>\n

Fans enjoying the Queen\u2019s Plate @ Home will also have the opportunity to enhance their experience with Woodbine\u2019s new horse racing app, Dark Horse<\/a>. Built for the next generation of horse racing fans, Dark Horse uses artificial intelligence to simplify the experience for the new player.<\/p>\n

\u201cEasy to use and a ton of fun, I would highly recommend Dark Horse to sports bettors or casual fans looking to get their feet wet with wagering on horse racing,\u201d said Portuondo, Host\/Analyst, Woodbine Entertainment. \u201cEspecially with the Derby and The Queen\u2019s Plate coming up, it\u2019s time to download the app and start playing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dark Horse is available in the Canadian Apple app store or can be downloaded at playdarkhorse.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
