zatt · It takes some time to work through this entire rundown, but well worth it. The list of Whitney winners is truly remarkable. A few that stand out in my memory were of course the Onion upset, Alydar's romp, Java Gold's coming out party, one of my favorites winning - Lady's Secret, and the thrilling win by Invasor. Great piece, Rick! · 687 days ago ·

Mike in SB · Great history of a great race. My personal favorite winner of the Whitney is Invasor. He doesn't get the respect he deserves as one of the best horses of the last decade. Last years Whitney was one of the best races of the year, just hope this one is as good. · 686 days ago ·

Buckpasser · Kelso was incredible as always. It is sad to note that Gun Bow was sent to stud in Japan. Did not sire much and no one has been able to find out what happened to him or when he died. He didof course sire Pistol Packer a top European racehorse · 546 days ago ·
