TORONTO, August 25, 2024 \u2013 Woodbine Entertainment today announced The King\u2019s Plate race card wagering handle of $11.6 million was part of a $24.5 million three-day total handle for Plate weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following a historical rainfall that forced the postponement of The King\u2019s Plate on Saturday, August 17, the 165th\u00a0running of The Plate was held in front of thousands of racing fans on Friday afternoon (August 23) at Woodbine Racetrack. <\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to run The King\u2019s Plate on Friday came after analyzing the racing and simulcast market for the following weekend and determining how to best maximize wagering over the course of the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The King\u2019s Plate card on Friday afternoon generated a total handle of $11.6 million. The 165<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> running of Canada\u2019s most prestigious horse race was captured by filly Caitlinhergrtness for owners Siena Farm and WinStar Farm, trainer Kevin Attard and jockey Rafael Hernandez.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter mother nature had other plans for us last weekend, Friday was picture perfect for The King\u2019s Plate and the racing was outstanding,\u201d said Michael Copeland, CEO of Woodbine. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have pulled off such a memorable day without the tremendous support of our racing fans, racing participants and entire Woodbine team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the original King\u2019s Plate card cut short due to the torrential rain, Woodbine provided ticketholders with refunds, while offering free admission to Friday\u2019s rescheduled event. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following Friday\u2019s card, Woodbine handled $6.4 million on Saturday\u2019s card, which went head-to-head with Travers Day at Saratoga. Sunday\u2019s card of live racing also generated $6.4 <\/span>million in wagering.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 Thoroughbred season at Woodbine continues through December 15 with several marquee days remaining, including Turf Champions Day on Saturday, September 14.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
