Saturday’s Whitney Stakes at Saratoga Race Course is the next step on the Road to the Breeders’ Cup for horses targeting the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 2 at Santa Anita Park.
The 1 1/8-mile Whitney, a Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” qualifying race for the Classic, is shaping up to be a very important race in determining top contenders for the signature race at this year’s World Championships as it drew an eight-horse field highlighted by $16 million earner Thunder Snow, Grade 1 winners McKinzie, Vino Rosso, and Yoshida, and rising star Preservationist.
The Grade 1, $1 million Whitney will be televised during NBC Sports' “Win and You’re In” broadcast presented by America’s Best Racing. The broadcast will air on NBCSN from 5-6 p.m. ET. The Whitney Stakes is named to honor C.V. and Marylou Whitney, titans of the sport in the Saratoga Springs area and nationwide. Marylou Whitney, who died on July 19, will be inducted into the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame on Friday, Aug. 2.
