Victory 3 Degree Wedge Hind

Aluminium Wedge Hind Racing Plate

The Victory EC Queens 3° Wedge Hind Race Plate is a European-inspired hind racing plate featuring an integrated 3° wedged heel and flush steel insert, designed for turf racing and applications where grabs are not permitted.

Designed for turf racing and racing situations where grabs are not permitted, it combines the established EC Queens racing pattern with a built-in 3° heel wedge, giving professional farriers a specialised hind shoeing option for the racehorse.

The steel insert sits at the same height as the rim, increasing wear resistance without creating the additional traction of a protruding grab.

3° Wedged Heel

The hind pattern incorporates a 3° heel wedge directly into the shoe, providing built-in heel elevation without requiring a separate wedge pad.

Final shoe selection and the amount of elevation required should be determined by the farrier according to the individual horse and hoof conformation.

Flush Steel Insert, Solid Heel & Wider Web

Rather than acting as a protruding traction device, the flush steel insert is designed to:

• Increase wear resistance
• Improve durability in a high-wear area
• Remain flush with the rim
• Avoid the additional traction associated with a grab

A solid heel provides additional material through the heel area for enhanced durability, while the wider web of the EC Queens series gives increased support, sole coverage and bearing surface compared with narrower racing plate designs.

Nailing, Swedge & Sole Relief

• 14 nail holes give the farrier a generous selection of nailing options
• The coarser nail-hole pattern is designed to follow the white line for practical nail placement
• Deep swedge helps protect the nail heads during wear and contributes traction through the profile of the shoe
• Seated out for sole pressure relief, helping minimise unnecessary sole contact when correctly fitted

Ideal For

• Hind shoeing of racehorses
• Turf racing
• Racing where grabs are not permitted, subject to current racing rules
