Command Performance Of Queen's Plate Stakes Canada's turf classic, the Queen's Plate Stakes, marks its 100th year with an appearance by the Queen herself. All the colorful pomp of an ascot opening is mustered as Queen Elizabeth II arrives, and the race itself is royal sport, a fast-paced thriller with the winner, New Providence, turning in one of the best performances in the history of the race. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip ride on racetrack in horse-drawn coach or carriage. Crowds. Horse race begins. Woman spectator looks through binoculars. Winner crosses finish. Queen awards shiny plates to two men (one looks like a jockey).
