Sir Dudley Digges comes on to capture $1-million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine
TORONTO — Ken Ramsey put his money where his mouth was Sunday.
The Kentucky native was so confident in his horse Sir Dudley Digges’ chances to win the $1-million Queen’s Plate that he bet roughly $3,600 on the horse. The three-year-old son of Gio Ponti proved to be money in the bank, surging past Scholar Athlete and 5/2 favourite Amis Gizmo in deep stretch to secure the stirring upset win.
And at 15/1 odds, Sir Dudley Digges made co-owner Ramsey a huge winner off the track.
“I bet with both hands,” Ramsey said. “He was 18-1 when I bet and that knocked him down to 16-1.
