Winner! Winner! Fried Chicken Takes The Whitney

Even if we took a deeper look into the runners of the Whitney, we probably still would not have come up with the winner.

Still, this was the Whitney, and he was going up some of the greatest virtual horses out there that are active.

General Zod Earns BC Sprint Spot with Crosby Stakes Win

Last month, General Zod just missed picking up his first stake win in the $300.000 Hanshin at CD before settling for second in a photo. He’d head to DMR on Saturday hoping to do a little better while cutting back to a sprint for the first time in eleven months. It would prove to be the right move, as the colt would not be denied in the stretch for the win!
