Whitney, Vanderbilt honored as Pillars of the Turf
It’s fitting the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is located a stone’s throw from Saratoga Race Course, but it’s especially fitting this year. Owner-breeders John Hay Whitney and Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, contemporaries who made extraordinary contributions to the sport for well over half a century and whose family names are regular fixtures on the New York calendar, were enshrined in the Hall of Fame’s Pillars of the Turf category at Friday morning’s annual induction ceremony.
