Oklahoma native Ron Moquett has been a trainer since 1997 and trained 2017 Kentucky Derby hopeful Petrov. Moquett has trained multiple stakes winner Far Right, Grade 1 winner Seek Gold and 2013 Breeders' Cup Sprint third place finisher Gentlemen's Bet. Multiple graded stakes winner Whitmore punched his ticket to the 2017 Twinspires Breeders' Cup Sprint with a win in the Grade 2 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix Stakes on opening day at the Keeneland fall meet.

Over the next three years, Whitmore picked up six more wins heading into fall 2020, highlighted by a victory in the Grade 1 Forego Stakes in 2018. He also finished second in that year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint and third in the 2019 renewal.

In 2020, 7-year-old Whitmore broke through with an off-the-pace score in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland, his 15^th career victory.
