With one million dollars in purse money, the Whitney Stakes is one of the richest horse races in America this year. Add in the fact that it’s a “win and you’re in” qualifier for the Breeders Cup Classic and it’s no wonder that a very strong field of horses head to Saratoga each year to compete in the Whitney.
This year the field is large with twelve horses entered, and that includes some of the top horses in the world. National Treasure (9-5) is the favorite heading into the race, while First Mission (9-2) and Bright Future (5-1) are the other top contenders.
In this article I will give you guys the morning line odds for the six horses in the field, provide a value play that I think could hit and also give you a step by step guide to getting your bets in on the Whitney this Saturday.
The race will be broadcast on FOX from 3-6pm EST on Saturday, August 3rd, so place your bets, tune in, and watch the action.

As you can see National Treasures is a significant favorite, while First Mission, Bright Future, Skippylongstocking, and Arthur’s Ride are the other contenders.
Here’s the video of National Treasure’s impressive win at the Pegasus World Cup earlier this year.
My Pick
I’m going with Skippylongstocking at odds of 8-1. He’s coming off a third place finish at the Stephen Foster in what was a very fast paced race. Prior to that race he won his two previous starts and I think he’s ready to get back into the winner’s circle with a strong performance from an outside post position.
Play: Skippylongstocking 8-1
