TORONTO - Hes one of Canadas most successful trainers but one accomplishment missing from Mark Casses impressive resume is a Queens Plate victory. Jason Kidd Jersey . The six-time Sovereign award winner as the countrys top conditioner will send three horses — including 4-1 early second choice Lexie Lou and 8-1 third pick Matador — postward Sunday in search of his first career win in North Americas oldest, continuously run stakes event at Woodbine Racetrack. Casses best finish in the $1-million, 1 1/4-mile race was second in 11 with Hippolytus. "When you travel around Canada and tell people youre a horse trainer, they want to know if youve won the Queens Plate," Casse said following the race draw Thursday. "So far, the answer is no but hopefully after Sunday Ill be able to say yes. "I would like to win the Kentucky Derby, that one is big too, but this (Plate win) would be No. 1." We Miss Artie is the 8-5 favourite despite running slower than Lexie Lou their last time out. We Miss Artie rallied to capture the 1 1/8-mile Plate Trial in 1:50.78 on June 15 at Woodbine before Lexie Lous impressive 4 1/2-length Woodbine Oaks win in 1:49.77 over the same distance moments later. Lexie Lou will carry five pounds less than the others in the 15-horse field Sunday as the lone filly. "Going a mile and a quarter, five pounds is a big difference," Casse said. "In her last race, she ran a second faster than the favourite and that means something. "I think theres a good shot there will be a female winner this year." Lexie Lou will attempt to become the 35th filly to win the Plate but just the seventh since 56. And only five Oaks winners have also claimed Canadas most prestigious race, the last being Inglorious in 2011. We Miss Artie drew the No. 6 post while Lexie Lou will break from the No. 14 position. Matador starts from the No. 10 post while Majestic Sunset, Casses third horse and the second-place finisher in the Plate Trial, goes from the No. 7 post. "I think this is the strongest hand weve ever brought to the table," Casse said. "With any race you can have the best horses but you still need to have some luck. "Were ready. Sooner or later well get this thing." The field, with post position, horse, jockey and odds, includes: 1) Cap in Hand, Steven Bahen, 50-1; 2) Coltimus Prime, Jesse Campbell 20-1; 3) Athenian Guard, Omar Moreno, 50-1; 4) Asserting Bear, Chantal-Sutherland Kruse, 10-1; 5) Man o Bear, Emma-Jayne Wilson, 30-1; 6) We Miss Artie, Javier Castellano, 8-5; 7) Majestic Sunset, Gary Boulanger, 15-1; Cool Lions Bay, David Moran, 30-1; 9) Heart to Heart Eurico Rosa de Silva, 30-1; 10) Matador, Julien Leparoux, 8-1; 11) One Destiny, Justin Stein, 30-1; 12) Tower of Texas, John Velazquez, 20-1; 13) Niigon Express, Gerry Olguin, 30-1; 14) Lexie Lou, Patrick Husbands, 4-1; 15) Amis Holiday, Luis Contreras. Favourites have won 22-of-58 renewals (37 per cent) since 56 but only two — Wando in 03 and Eye of the Leopard in 09 — have been victorious in the last 19 editions. But Casse and Lexie Lou arent the only interesting storylines in this years race. Others include: — Not only is a filly the No. 2 pick but two women will ride Sunday. Sutherland-Kruse, who came out of retirement to ride this year at Woodbine, will be aboard Asserting Bear while Man o Bear, will be ridden by Wilson, who became the only female jockey to win the Plate in 07 with Mike Fox. Also, trainer Josie Carroll chases a third Plate victory with Amis Holiday. — Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield tries for a record ninth Plate win with Tower of Texas. Attfields last Plate victory was in 08 with Not Bourbon. — For the first time ever, a father and two sons will saddle separate entries. Hall of Famer Sid Attard conditions Cap in Hand while Paul Attard sends out Niigon Express and Jamie Attard trains Lions Bay. The Plate is the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. The other races are the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes (July 29 at Fort Erie) and $500,000 Breeders Stakes turf event (Aug. 17 at Woodbine). Thereve been seven Triple Crown winners, the last being Wando in 03. Paul and Jamie Attard have a round of golf riding on Sundays race, but their father hasnt become embroiled in family bragging rights. Sid Attard has never won the Queens Plate but was second in 92 with longshot Grand Hooley, his first Plate starter. "Ive been listening, being quiet," the senior Attard said with a chuckle. "Id like to win but if I cant win I want one of them to win. "Id like to see them do good." Sutherland-Kruse rode Asserting Bear to victory in the Marine Stakes on May 25 but the horse was relegated to third for obstructing Ami Holidays late run. Sutherland-Kruse has finished in the money 69 times this season — 22 wins, 28 seconds, 19 thirds — and amassed over $1-million in purse earnings through 189 starts. The 38-year-old Winnipeg native said shed cherish a Queens Plate victory. "Ive raced all over the world, Ive seen the lArc de Triomphe, Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup and theyre all huge races," she said. "But for me, the Queens Plate is as big. "I love Canada and am proud to be Canadian and to win it would be so gratifying." A win Sunday would further solidify Attfields status as Canadian racings most prolific trainer, having already amassed more Prince of Wales (five) and Breeders Stakes (eight) victories in the Triple Crown era than any other conditioner. But its an accomplishment that isnt keeping 74-year-old resident of Nobleton, Ont. — who has conditioned three Triple Crown champions over his illustrious career — up at night. "If it happens, it happens," he said matter of factly. "I feel blessed to have won it (Queens Plate) eight times. "Its a good-sized field, which it should be, and theres a lot of horses that it would be no surprise if they popped up and won, in my opinion. I think its going to be a tremendous race, to be honest." Eric Bledsoe Jersey . A 19-game winner with the New York Yankees in both 2006 and 2007, Wang spent most of this year at Triple-A for the Yankees and Blue Jays. The 33-year-old right-hander was 1-2 with a 7. T.J.

Details of the full deal between West Ham and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) have now been published, showing the Hammers will pay £2.5m a season to play 25 games at the Olympic Stadium.The contract, published after a tribunal ruled earlier this week that it should be made public, also reveals that the club will not be billed for heating, policing, stadium and pitch maintenance, and even corner flags. My dog could have negotiated a better deal than this. Barry Hearn You welcome this coming into the public domain, said former Leyton Orient chairman Hearn, who wanted Orient to be allowed to share the Olympic Stadium with West Ham.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Hearn said: The LLDC have fought tooth and nail not to release these details and when you read them, you can understand why, because its obviously a huge embarrassment to them. The Olympic Stadium, pictured during the Rugby World Cup He added: Good luck to West Ham. Theyve done the best job that they could do for themselves. Theyre free from criticism.The people negotiating on behalf of the Government really need to take a look in the mirror.This is an outrageous deal for the taxpayer - £728m of stadium, £272m to convert it specifically to a football venue, West Ham paying £2.5m a year - doesnt sound too bad... but then you realise that the stewarding, the turnstile operators, the police, the cleaners, the ground maintenance - all are being paid for by the stadium. Hearn says West Ham are free from criticism but the Government need to take a look in the mirror Does this give West Ham an unfair advantage over their rivals? Is it anti-competitive under European law? These are questions that will be asked over the next few weeks.As far as Im concerned, my dog could have negotiated a better deal than this.Its put West Ham into the major league. Its added hundreds of millions of pounds to the worth of West Ham - an iconic venue, essentially rent-free, subsidised, £15m of capital and theyre allowed to sell theiir own ground for residential purposes. Jared Dudley Jersey. Sky Sports News HQ reporter Anton Toloui investigates the cost of West Hams deal to play at Londons Olympic Stadium TaxPayers Alliance chief executive Jonathan Isaby said the contract was ludicrously generous and the deal of the century.He added: Those of us footing the bills deserve a proper explanation.West Ham, who have a 99-year tenancy on the 60,000 capacity Olympic Stadium and will start playing there next season, paid £15m to help convert the stadium - work which cost £272m in total. The Boleyn Ground could now be sold for housing development An LLDC spokesperson said: We are disappointed by the tribunals decision.Our motivation in bringing this case has been to protect millions of pounds of taxpayers money. The stadium needs to be a profitable and successful commercial operation, otherwise it will rely on public subsidy.A West Ham statement read: It is a stadium that the nation can be proud of and we believe it will become one of the greatest football stadiums in the world.West Ham United were named anchor concessionaire of the stadium after a fair, transparent and robust process open to any organisation in the world.We were unanimously chosen. We offered the best deal and the only option for a true and lasting legacy for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Also See: West Hams rent revealed West Ham fixtures Hammers striker shortlist?
