Queen's Plate date announced
The date of the 155th running of the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate has been confirmed for Saturday, 9 January, 2016, at Kenilworth Racecourse, Cape Town. The day's 12-race card will set South Africa's finest thoroughbreds against each other as they pursue the coveted trophy and R1 million purse.
The Peninsula Stakes, sponsored by England's Goodwood Racecourse, meanwhile, will run for a third year, bringing international flavour to the day's line-up. Additionally, the Breeder's Cup, the biggest annual race day held in the US, will again grant the LQP winner automatic entrance to its Mile Division, cementing the race's global
status.
Beyond the track, the elegance of LQP will again be exhibited by guests dressed in the LQP colours of blue and white as they mingle and enjoy world-class music, entertainment and culinary offerings across a variety of hospitality marquees, including the Stud Club and Style Lounge.
