Wearing the Blue and Black lifetime colours the McLellans chose, it's jockey Mickey Walls who will be guiding Bold N Fancy out of the starting gate. A slight man of 117 Ibs., weights will have to be added to the saddle The McLellans have been in the thorough- bred racing business for ten years now. What ini- tially started out as a hobby has changed over the years. "When it gets to this stage of racing, it becomes a business" Mrs. McLellan says. The Queen's Plate is the oldest stakes race on the continent. Having first run on June 27, 1860 it received royal Catharines, Whitby, Kingston, Barrie, Woodstock, Picton, London, Hamilton and Ottawa before it settled permanently, with the Queen's approval, in Toronto in 1883. The race was called the Queen's Plate until 1902, the year after Queen Victoria's death, when it became the King's Plate (after Edward VII). It reverted the only horse the McLellans have racing. A mare, Sports Flashy, is also doing her bit at the track, too, 'paying for her grain and more', her owner says, but now the main _ focus is on their talented gelding on June 25. "We're delighted our horse will be a part of the history of the 141st running of the Queen's Plate", Mrs. McLellan CO-OP STOUFFVILLE CO-OP FEEDS Stouffville Branch Uxbridge Branch 905-640-1550 905-852-3321 1-800-355-2168 1-800-355-2972 QUALITY PERFORMANCE FEEDS Kentucky Show Time Photo Finish 12% Protein & 14% Protein Corn Oil Added Chelated Minerals and Yeast Very Palatable and Consistent » Tack Shop and Supplies » Great Prices, Good Selection | » Everything for the horse and Horse Owner until they add up to 126 assent by Queen tothe former name upon says.
