Even if we took a deeper look into the runners of the Whitney, we probably still would not have come up with the winner. Fried Chicken has been successful since joining Angelos Stable, and he had been working well. Still, this was the Whitney, and he was going up some of the greatest virtual horses out there that are active.

Country Roads Take Seven to The WV Derby
Top jockeys and purse money will make their way to MNR on Sunday for the annual WV Derby, a Grade 3 that has $400.000 at stake. Unfortunately, that amount represents a low point for the race (not counting the period when it was a free race), as it is a $100.000 deduction from where it had been since 2018, and much lower than the high point of $750.000.
Pucker Up and Do a Happy Dance on Sunday
Looking at the action for Sunday at ELP, there will be an excellent opportunity for three year old female turf horses to pick up a large purse in the 20th running of the Pucker Up Stakes. It’s still a Grade 3, but one that offers $400.000 for its top finishers, giving trainers plenty of reason to pucker up.
