Hotep Headlines Queen's Plate

Stakes winner Hotep is the probable favorite as he makes his first start in Canadian restricted company in the $1-million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine on Sunday.

The first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the 1 ¼-mile race on Polytrack attracted a field of 13 Canadian-foaled three-year-olds, including two fillies—Woodbine Oaks winner Roan Inish and runner-up Moment of Majesty.

Bred and owned by Sam-Son Farms, Hotep is an A.P. Indy colt out of Canadian champion three-year-old filly Eye of the Sphynx. His full brother Eye of the Leopard won the Plate and was named Canada’s champion three-year-old colt last year.
