The City of Summerside made an adjustment to the announcement surrounding the Governor’s Plate. The City will offer $1,000 to the winning horse of the Governor’s Plate who breaks the track record of 1:54 set by Exclusives in 2006. If the winning horse in the Governor’s Plate records a winning mile of 1:53 flat they will receive $10,000 dollars.
