2007 Queen's Plate Day

Winning trainer Ian Black, celebrating his first Plate win, said, "It is a wonderful feeling, I am honored to be part of Emma's great day, and for Morgan Firestone, to have a horse like this, to get a Plate win with a home bred. I was concerned there (around the far turn), but I knew he would run all the way, so if anybody stopped in front of him, he would keep running. He had a great outside trip, a great trip."

Black paid tribute to long-time Woodbine-based owner D. Morgan Firestone, who also celebrated his first Plate win. Black said, "He spent a lot of money throughout the years, buying yearlings and this is very nice for him. It is out of the fillies he bought and raised and is very rewarding for him. So, it is nice to win with a homebred."
