TORONTO, June 23, 2023 \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment today released its first King\u2019s Plate Power Rankings for the 164th<\/sup> running of Canada\u2019s most prestigious horse race.<\/p>\n

The 164th<\/sup> King\u2019s Plate is the first leg of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing and is scheduled for Sunday, August 20 at Woodbine Racetrack.<\/p>\n

The King\u2019s Plate Power Rankings provide a look at the current top contenders and will be released several times ahead of this year\u2019s event. The voting committee for The King\u2019s Plate Power Rankings consists of Jeff Bratt (Woodbine Racing Host\/Analyst), Monique V\u00e1g (Woodbine Racing Host\/Analyst), Robert Geller (Woodbine Track Announcer), Ernie Perri (Woodbine Head Clocker\/Oddsmaker) and Ron Gierkink (Daily Racing Form).<\/p>\n

Each voter submits their own top-10 list and points are awarded to each horse based on their placement (10 points for first through one point for 10th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n

Local standout Stanley House ranked among each voter\u2019s top-three to receive the most points and number one ranking.<\/p>\n

Currently running for trainer Ross Armata Jr., Stanley House turned in an impressive victory on June 18 at Woodbine under jockey Luis Contreras. John and Diana Russell\u2019s three-year-old colt now has two wins in four starts this season and has finished outside the top-two just once from six career starts.<\/p>\n
