2014 Queen's Plate Stakes Race Favorite Entries

We Miss Artie 8-5 - Todd Pletcher hopeful is coming off a nice win over Majestic Sunset in the minor Plate Trial Stakes here June 15 which followed a pedestrian tenth in the Kentucky Derby. Before the Derby was a career best effort - a win in the Grade 3 Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park March 22 after an eighth in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream February 22. He also had a respectable second in the minor Kitten's Joy Stakes January 19 and a somewhat disappointing seventh in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Before the Breeders' Cup was a terrific win in the Grade 1 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland October 5. He has certainly been up and down in his career but is the most seasoned entry for this year's Queen's Plate - a win on this track in the Plate Trial has We Miss Artie the obvious morning line favorite. Javier Castellano rides from post 6.

Lexie Lou 4-1 - the only filly in the field is coming off a terrific 4 1/2 length win in the Woodbine Oaks (in faster time than We Miss Artie's Plate Trial time) here June 15 for trainer Mark Casse - one of her four wins in 11 career starts to go along with two seconds and two third place finishes. Before the Oaks was a third in the minor Fury Stakes, a fourth in the Star Shoot Stakes, a third in the Ontario Lassie Stakes and another win in the South Ocean Stakes back in November. She seems to be peaking at just the right time and will have Patrick Husbands in the saddle from gate 14.

Matador 6-1 -highly regarded Mark Casse trained colt most recently won an Allowance Optional Claiming by six lengths here May 28 after a somewhat disappointing seventh in the Grade 3 Derby Trial Stakes at Churchill Downs in April. He also had a sixth in the Grade 1 Florida Derby March 29, a fifth in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby March 8, a fourth in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes February 1 and a disappointing sixth after encountering interference in the minor Coronation Futurity at Woodbine November 17. He had a great win in the Cup and Saucer Stakes at here October 20 to follow an OK third behind Go Bro in the Grade 2 Summer Stakes also on this track September 14 but hasn't been great since. Matador has placed in just one of his last six starts (a win last time out here) and despite racing against some top fields could be overmatched in this one. Regular rider Julien Leparoux has the call the morning line third choice from the 10-hole.

Ami's Holiday 10-1 - Josie Carroll trained colt broke maiden at first asking and recorded win the Grade 3 Grey Stakes at Woodbine October 6. He has two minor stakes starts after that - a disappointing seventh after being DQ's as favorite in the Coronation Stakes November 17 and an OK third in the Display Stakes December 8. He is coming off a second in the minor Marine Stakes on this track May 25 after a fourth to Mr Speaker in the Grade 3 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland in April. Ami's Holiday looks for his first win since October with Luis Contreras in the reins from the outside post.

Asserting Bear 10-1 - Reade Baker trained colt hasn't been great in his career - he has 10 career starts with just two wins, a second and two third place finishes finished. He did have a second in the minor Kingarvie Stakes December 7 and a win in the Coronation Futurity in November but also has a pair of ugly eighths including two back in the Grade 1 Blue Grass to go along with a fifth in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes. He is coming off a third last time out in the minor Marine Stakes May 25 - that's about it for the optimism. Chantal Sutherland-Kruse has the call from post 4.

Majestic Sunset 15-1 - finished second most recently behind We Miss Artie in the Plate Trial Stakes here June 15 after three MSW on three different track produced a second and a pair of sixth place finishes. He did have an OK second behind Asserting Bear in the minor Coronation Futurity on this track in November but hadn't looked good before a nice effort last time out. Majestic Sunset has yet to post victory in nine career starts but has three seconds and two third place finishes. Gary Boulanger will be in the irons.
