 | | Gil Robillard, who piloted 11-1 longshot Epigram to victory in the 1952 Queen's Plate, died Jan. 23 in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. |
 | | The highlight of Robillard's career in the saddle came 52 years ago over a sloppy main track at Woodbine Park, as Epigram, a maiden with earnings of just $75 at that time, rallied from near the back of the 21-horse field, to capture the top prize of $16,875, plus 50 guineas. |
 | | Though the odds appeared to be against Robillard and the bay colt bred by E.P. Taylor, the son of Flares, owned by Three V's Stable, gutted out a length triumph in a stirring score over 79-1 longshot Genthorn in the 93rd running of the Queen's Plate. |
