TORONTO, August 20, 2021 \u2013 With The Queen\u2019s Plate just a few days away, Woodbine Entertainment has released the final Queen\u2019s Plate Power Rankings for this year\u2019s 162nd<\/sup>\u00a0edition.<\/p>\n

The 162nd<\/sup>\u00a0Queen\u2019s Plate will take place on Sunday (August 22) at Woodbine Racetrack.

The Power Rankings highlight the most talented three-year-old Thoroughbreds eligible to enter for a spot in the $1-million race.

With previous number one Weyburn not in the race, Keep Grinding has taken over the top spot in the final Queen\u2019s Plate Power Rankings. Racing for owner Joshua Attard and trainer Tino Attard, Keep Grinding has been installed as the slight 4-1 morning-line favourite in Sunday\u2019s field of 13.<\/p>\n

Keep Grinding received three of the seven first-place votes.<\/p>\n
