We would have a fantastic finish in The Test, with a five way photo finish at the wire and a total of seven horses being within a length at the wire. Prevailing in this very tight battle at the wire would be Devils Bride, out of the red-hot Fractious. She was one of three runners that the trainer had in the field, and we went with one of her stablemates in the preview.

An Easy 1-2 Finish For Mb Stables In The SAR Oaks
It was a wet one in Upstate New York today, and virtual SAR was not spared from the rain. The result of this precipitation left us with a yielding turf course and two horses, Copper Jewels and Bombing For Peace, scratching out. That meant that our pick to win the race would not be taking part.

As Expected, The Whitney Field Is Loaded
All eyes will be at SAR on Saturday, something that will usually be the case during the meet, but there’s a little more on the line this week as the 18th running of the Whitney, arguably the second biggest race of the meet, will take place. At stake for the race will be the prestige of winning such an event, as well as a $1,000.000 purse and an automatic spot in the BC Classic!
On Saturday, It’s Time to Take The Test
It’s Whitney Day at the Spa, but before we get into that race, the races on the undercard certainly deserve to have their chance to be highlighted. Among them is the 21st running of The Test, which is a long sprint for three year old fillies and has been a Grade 1 since inception.
