Saratoga
Silver State works for Whitney
Barbara D. Livingston Silver State works five furlongs at Saratoga on Thursday. He runs next in the Whitney on Aug. 7.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Fog enveloped both the Oklahoma training track and main track Thursday morning, but both surfaces were in good condition and plenty of horses put in workouts.
One of the bigger names to work was Silver State, the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap winner, who is preparing for a start in the Grade 1, $1 million Whitney Stakes on Aug. 7. He was credited with a time of 1:01.69 for five furlongs.
Trainer Steve Asmussen said exercise rider Fabien Wilson told him: “He felt great. He went by nice.”
