"TO CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY OF A GREAT TRADITION"
"This year marks the 125 anniversary of Canada's most prestious horse
racing event and north America's oldest continuously run stakes race-the
Queens' Plate.
THE PLATE: A ROYAL TRADITION is an original work commissioned by The
Ontario Jockey Club esspecially for the 125th anniversary of the race and
written by Louis E. Cauz, veteran sports writer and commentator, author and
horse racing authority. Years in the making, the book recounts the story of
the great race itself, and the social history that surrounds it. Into the
description of each year's event, Cauz has deftly woven a history of the
great Canadian racing dynasties-and the people who participated in the
growth of the Queen's Plate and staked fortune to win it."
