Inglorious beat Hippolytus by 2-1/2 lengths in the $1 million Queen's Plate on Sunday at Woodbine to become the first filly in 10 years to win the first leg of Canada's Triple Crown.

Inglorious, ridden by Luis Contreras and trained by Josie Carroll, ran 1-1/4 miles in 2 minutes, 2.63 seconds and returned $11 on a win bet. It was her third straight victory and fifth in seven career starts.

"This is just a dream, and I still don't believe it yet," owner Vern Dubinsky said. "I'm thrilled to death."

Pender Harbour was third.

The second leg of the Triple Crown is the Prince of Wales Stakes on July 17 at Fort Erie, and the final event is the Breeders' Stakes turf race Aug. 7 at Woodbine.
