Victory 2 Degree Size 5

Victory EC Queens 2° Wedge Hind Race Plate

A European-inspired hind racing plate featuring a 2° wedged heel and flush steel insert, designed for turf racing and applications where grabs are not permitted.

The Victory EC Queens 2° Wedge Hind Race Plate combines the established EC Queens racing pattern with an integrated 2° heel wedge, providing professional farriers with a specialised hind shoeing option for the racehorse.

Designed for use on turf and where grabs are not permitted, the plate features a steel insert positioned at the same height as the rim. This increases wear resistance without creating the additional traction of a protruding grab.

2° Wedged Heel

The hind pattern incorporates a 2° heel wedge directly into the shoe, providing built-in heel elevation without requiring a separate wedge pad.

The appropriate degree of elevation should be selected by the farrier according to the individual horse, hoof conformation and shoeing requirements.

Flush Steel Insert

The integrated steel insert sits at the same height as the rim, providing additional wear resistance while maintaining the shoe's existing traction profile.

Key advantages include:

• Increased wear resistance
• Additional durability in a high-wear area
• Insert remains flush with the rim
• No protruding grab
• Designed for turf applications

Solid Heel

A solid heel section provides additional material through the heel area, enhancing durability and complementing the wider, supportive profile of the EC Queens range.

Wider Web

The EC Queens series features a wider web for increased support and sole coverage, providing a more substantial bearing surface than narrower racing plate designs.

14 Nail Holes

With 14 nail holes, the shoe provides multiple nailing options to assist the farrier in achieving an accurate fit.

The nail-hole pattern is designed to follow the white line, while the coarser pattern provides practical placement options for racehorse shoeing.

Deep Swedge

The deep swedge helps protect the nail heads during wear while also providing additional traction through the shoe's profile.

Seated Out for Sole Relief

The shoe is seated out for sole pressure relief, helping provide clearance and minimise unnecessary sole contact when correctly fitted.
