After a weekend where two horses earned automatic berths to the 38^th Breeders’ Cup World Championships with wins at Del Mar in southern California, the focus shifts across the country to Saratoga Race Course for the upcoming weekend, as some of the top older dirt males in training compete in the 94^th edition of the prestigious Whitney Stakes on Saturday, Aug. 7

The $1 million, Grade 1 Whitney Stakes offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 6 at Del Mar by way of the Challenge Series Presented by America's Best Racing. For more on the race’s storied history and its impact on the World Championships, click here.
