Although this news did not come in a press release of its own, at least not yet, the list of the nominees to the Canadian Triple Crown was revealed in Woodbine's release of the winterbook odds for the 2011 Queen's Plate. The list includes all three-year-old Canadian-breds who were nominated to the Canadian Triple Crown in the early nomination period.
While 109 horses appear on the early nomination list, horses can be added or removed from this list on the next major date, May 1st. For horses already on the list, a sustaining payment of $1,500 must be made by May 1st to keep horses eligible for the race. Any horses who do not have the $1,500 payment made will be made ineligible and will be removed from the list. For horses who are not already on the list, a $5,000 late nomination fee can be paid by May 1st to become eligible for the Triple Crown. If the horses are still not on the list of nominees after May 1st, they can still be nominated for the Triple Crown, however, owners will have to make a $25,000 supplementary payment ($15,000 + $10,000 entry fee) at the time of final entry to be made eligible for the first race, the Queen's Plate.
The 2011 Canadian Triple Crown will take place at Woodbine and Fort Erie racetracks. The first jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown is the Queen's Plate, which will take place at Woodbine on Polytrack on Sunday, June 26th. The chase for the Triple Crown will resume three weeks later with the Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie on dirt on Sunday, July 17th. The final jewel of the Triple Crown, the Breeders' Stakes, will be run at Woodbine on turf on Sunday, August 7th. The Canadian Triple Crown truly is a difficult task for any horse as it puts the three-year-old thoroughbred to the test, challenging them at three different distances on three different surfaces.
Below is the full list of the 109 horses that were nominated for the 2011 Canadian Triple Crown by the early nomination deadline:
