"He ran a huge race in the Plate."Third choice at 4-1 is Stronach Stable's Malakoff, who ran third in the Plate for trainer Brian Lynch. "He's doing very good off the Plate," said Lynch. "If he's set to run a big one, it will be the race off the Plate."Stronach and Lynch have also entered Royal Challenger.$500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes (Race 9, 5:10 p.m.), 3-Year-Old Canadian Breds, 1 3/16 Miles
