King's Plate -- Queen's Plate -- A Canadian Race
From the linked article:
North America's longest continually run horse stakes race is in Toronto on Sunday, with a name it hasn't used in more than 70 years.
After spending the last seven decades as the Queen's Plate, the King's Plate is being held at Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke — named in honour of Britain's ruling monarch, who is now King Charles. Despite the name change, attendees can still expect a day filled with high fashion, pageantry and, of course, racing.
For Morgan Cameron Ross, the sheer age of the event, which began in 1860, makes it a special occasion. Cameron Ross runs the website and social media pages Old Toronto Series and was hired by Woodbine Entertainment Group to create a short documentary for this year's event.
