The result of the 2008 Queen's Plate was very predictable, Not Bourbon, the 3rd choice in the 14-horse field held off 2-1 favorite Ginger Brew by a head. The 3-1 second choice Solitare rally from far back to finish 3rd. I predicted this will be a very bad betting race and I was smart enough to not put any money on it. The $2 trifecta only paid $83.30..which I will for sure lose money.
Although I did not bet on the Queen's Plate but I was still very interested in the race because of the Queen's Plate Fantasy Challenge. I had 3 horses running in the Queen's Plate - Not Bourbon, Deputiformer and Palmers. I got a feeling Deputiformer will run a a big race based on it final workout, he finished 4th and beaten by a neck for third at odds 22-1. Palmers is a difficult horse to figure out, it finished 2nd last out and had been close for the last couple of race. He was charging at the end and finished 5th, another neck behind Deputiformer at odds 23-1. With the 4th and 5th place points I got from Deputiformer and Palmers, I finished 29th of 4473 in the Queen's Plate Challenge and won an exclusive Queen's Plate hat and golf shirt. I know some people would prefer money but I am happy to have the bragging right.
