GIVE \u2018PEACE\u2019 A CHANCE: PAY FOR PEACE PRIMED FOR PLATE DATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

TORONTO, June 19, 2019 \u2013 Pay for Peace, owned by Team Penney Racing and Carem Stables, will arrive at the $1 million Queen\u2019s Plate, set for Saturday, June 29, off an impressive score in the Plate Trial Stakes.<\/p>\n

Trained by Rachel Halden, the three-year-old son of Silent Name (JPN) stalked the pace and eventually drove clear to pull off the 19-1 upset in the 1 1\/8-mile Plate Trial.<\/p>\n

It was the first win from three starts in 2019 and second victory in eight races for Pay for Peace.<\/p>\n

The Trial performance turned a date in the Plate from a question mark to a definitive answer for the gelding\u2019s connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cOff that last race he deserves a chance, doesn\u2019t he?\u201d said Halden, a former steeplechase rider. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t expected (the Plate Trial triumph) but we were hopeful of it. We\u2019ve always believed in him and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve kept him eligible for the Plate. His first two races this year, they weren\u2019t terrible, but they weren\u2019t exactly what we were looking for to keep our Plate dream alive. That was put on the back burner. After his last race, it was put right back on the front burner.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now, the heat will be turned up even more in Canada\u2019s most famous horse race.<\/p>\n

Contested over 1 1\/4-miles on the Woodbine main track, the Queen\u2019s Plate is shaping up to be a wide-open affair. Halden is happy to see her charge in the mix for all the spoils.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, he just might be a horse that\u2019s coming around at the right time,\u201d said the multiple graded stakes winning conditioner. \u201cHe deserves to be in there because the distance certainly isn\u2019t going to be an issue. I\u2019ve been dying to run this horse longer for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After an eighth, fifth and second to launch his racing career, Pay for Peace broke his maiden on November 2, a three-length win over one mile and 70 yards on the Toronto oval Tapeta.<\/p>\n

Rafael Hernandez, who was aboard for the Ontario-breds initial score, will be reunited with the dark bay for the 160th edition of the \u2018Gallop for the Guineas.\u2019<\/p>\n

The multiple graded stakes winning rider has 2,443 career wins and more than $38 million in purse earnings. He teamed with Shaman Ghost to win the 2015 Queen\u2019s Plate.<\/p>\n
