I'll beat Silver Charm to the punch.
BIG weekend coming up. Whitney Day. Hambletonian. Mets v SF Giants as the Mets play
rare meaningful August baseball. The TG Open.
The Whitney Day card features only one NY Bred race. Kudos to Panza and the gang.
The card ends with 5 stakes races, 3 of them GR 1, with full fields in all 11 races
on the day.
Putting the Whitney field of 9 in perspective, there are 2 multiple G1 stake
winners, 1 G1 SW, 3 G2 SW and 3 G3 SW. Looking at it another way, the 9 entrants in
the Whitney have won a combined $14,502,476, an average of $1,611,386 per starter.
