TORONTO — Avie’s Flatter will break from the No. 14 post in the $1-million Queen’s Plate on Saturday afternoon.

The 5/3 early favourite was left with the far outside position in the 14-horse field at the race draw Wednesday at Woodbine Racetrack.

Josie Carroll, Avie’s Flatter’s trainer, will chase a third Plate victory. She became the first female conditioner to win the race in 2006 with Edenwold and did it again in 2011 with Inglorious.

In April, Carroll was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall if Fame.

One Bad Boy, the 7/2 second choice, selected the No. 5 post while 4/1 third pick Skywire, trained by Preakness and Belmont winner Mark Casse, will start from the No. 10 post.
