The preliminary list of invitees for the upcoming $750,000 Whitney Invitational Handicap (gr. I) have been announced, and from the looks of things, the prestigious nine-furlong "Win and You're In" for the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) is going to be one terrific race.
The complete list of fourteen invitees is as follows:
Caixa Eletronica
Endorsement
Flat Out
Fort Larned
Hunters Bay
Hymn Book
Mucho Macho Man
Ron the Greek
Rule
Stay Thirsty
Successful Dan
To Honor and Serve
Wise Dan
Of this group, Stay Thirsty, Wise Dan, Mucho Macho Man, and possibly Caixa Eletronica are expected to skip the race in favor of other races. However, the remaining eleven horses all have the Whitney on their schedules, and barring unforeseen circumstances, all are tentatively pointing toward the race.
The Whitney Invitational is to be run on August 4th at Saratoga. Should any of the original fourteen invitees choose to skip the race, alternate invitees could be entered. Any alternate invitees, as well as weight assignments, will be announced on July 29th.
