The wait is nearly over as an anticipated middleweight championship grudge match between defending undisputed champion Dricus Du Plessis and former longtime titleholder Israel Adesanya is set to headline this weekend’s UFC 305 main event in Australia.
Mother Nature has forced King’s Plate organizers to postpone Canada’s biggest horse race until Friday.
The remainder of Saturday’s card at Toronto’s Woodbine Racetrack, including the first jewel of Canada’s Triple Crown, was cancelled in the afternoon after heavy rain made a mess of the track.
Eight of 13 races were called off due to unsafe track conditions.
The track is not far from areas where some motorists had to abandon their cars during a heavy downpour hours earlier in the west end of Toronto and Mississauga, Ont.
The Plate, now in its 165th year, is North America’s oldest continuously run stakes race.
The Price of Wales Stakes, the second jewel of the Triple Crown, is scheduled for Sept. 10 at Fort Erie Race Track, followed by the Breeders’ Stakes on Sept. 29 at Woodbine.
