King’s Plate Handle Sets Single-Day Betting Record At Woodbine
WOODBINE —
The 164th King’s Plate generated the largest single-card handle in Woodbine Racetrack history on Sunday afternoon.
A total of $18,127,049.67 was wagered on Sunday’s 13-race King’s Plate card at the Toronto, Ontario, track, eclipsing the previous record of $18,005,973.60 from the 2019 Queen’s Plate. The record handle is also a significant increase from last year’s Queen’s Plate handle of $13.6 million.

“It’s exciting to have ushered in a new era for the Plate in record-breaking fashion,” said Jim Lawson, CEO of Woodbine Entertainment. “We felt good about the buzz surrounding the first King’s Plate in over 70 years and that was clearly backed up on Sunday through the energy of our sold-out crowd and the wagering support.”
