Whitmore Tries Again for Second Phoenix Victory

Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect) shoots for his second win in Friday’s GII Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. at Keeneland, a ‘Win and You’re In’ for the GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

After narrowly annexing this event in 2017, the hard-knocking and popular as ever 7-year-old gelding has since completed the bottom half of the exacta in the last two renewals.

Whitmore captured his third GIII Count Fleet Sprint H. at Oaklawn in April, then was second to the ultra-talented Volatile (Violence) in the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. at Saratoga July 25. He was seventh in a very sloppy renewal of the GI Forego S. at the Spa last time Aug. 29.

Grade I winning sophomores and ‘TDN Rising Stars’ Echo Town (Speightstown) and No Parole (Violence) take on their elders here.

The speedy No Parole bested Echo Town in front-running fashion by 3 3/4 lengths in Belmont’s GI Woody Stephens S. June 20. Echo Town turned the tables on the Louisiana-bred, however, with a breakthrough win in Saratoga’s GI H. Allen Jerkens S. Aug. 1. No Parole faded to ninth that day, his most recent trip to the post.

Echo Town cuts back in distance following a flat fifth as the 2-1 favorite in the GII Pat Day Mile S. at Churchill Downs Sept. 5.

Lexitonian (Speightstown), third at 46-1 in last year’s Phoenix, came within a nose of a Grade I victory in the Bing Crosby S. at Del Mar Aug. 1, then was a close fifth in the Forego.

Diamond Oops (Lookin At Lucky), winner of the 2019 GIII Smile Sprint S. and GIII Mr. Prospector S., goes turf to dirt following a last-to-first neck decision in the GII Twin Spires Turf Sprint S. at Churchill Sept. 4.

Rising Stars Face Off in Alcibiades

A trio of ‘TDN Rising Stars,’ including unbeaten Thoughtfully (Tapit), will square off in Friday’s GI Darley Alcibiades S. at Keeneland, a ‘Win and You’re In’ for the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

The rail-drawn Thoughtfully, tabbed as a ‘Rising Star’ out of a blowout debut win for Steve Asmussen at Churchill Downs June 11, made good on the promise with a sparkling performance in Saratoga’s GII Adirondack S. Aug. 12. The $950,000 FTSAUG graduate tries two turns for the first time here.

Drawn one to her outside is fellow ‘Rising Star’ Travel Column (Frosted), herself a flashy debut winner going six furlongs on the GI Kentucky Oaks undercard Sept. 4. Brad Cox trains the $850,000 FTSAUG yearling.

Crazy Beautiful (Liam’s Map) posted a ‘Rising Star’ performance at second asking in the Runhappy Debutante S. at Ellis Aug. 9. She was second as the favorite with a troubled trip in the one-turn mile GIII Pocahontas S. last time Sept. 3.

Trainer Ken McPeek will also saddle the two-for-two, rained-off P. G. Johnson S. heroine Simply Ravishing (Laoban) and grassy Mint Juvenile Fillies S. third Oliviaofthedesert (Bernardini).
