Filly Inglorious captures $1-million Queen's Plate race

TORONTO - Filly Inglorious took the lead down the stretch to capture the $1-million Queen's Plate on Sunday.

Inglorious became just the 34th filly to win the Queen's Plate and earned trainer Josie Carroll her second career victory.

Inglorious captured the $600,000 winner's share for owner Donver Stable.

She won the 1 1/4-mile race, the first jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown, in 2:02.63 on the polytrack at Woodbine Racetrack.

Hippolytus, a 60-1 longshot, was second and Pender Harbour took third in the 17-horse field.

Ontario Lieutenant-Governor David Onley headlined the list of dignitaries present on a muggy, overcast afternoon.

The second leg of the Triple Crown is the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes on July 17 at Fort Erie, Ont.

The final event is the $500,000 Breeders' Stakes turf race Aug. 7 at Woodbine.

Seven horses have captured the Triple Crown, the last being Wando in 2003.
