TORONTO — One Bad Boy held off co-favourite Avie’s Flatter to win the 160th running of the Queen’s Plate on Saturday at Woodbine Racetrack.

Jockey Flavien Prat, who rode Kentucky Derby winner Country House in May, guided 7/2 pick One Bad Boy to victory in 2:02.98 in the 1/4-mile event on Woodbine’s Tapeta course.

The $1-million Queen’s Plate is North America’s oldest annually run race and the first leg of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown.

Avie’s Flatter was second in the 14-horse field while Tone Broke, a 13/1 pick, survived a stewards inquiry to remain third.

The second Triple Crown event will be the $400,000 Prince of Wales Stakes on July 23 at Fort Erie Racetrack.
