SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Add another Grade 1 winner to the Whitney field.
Giant Oak, who won the Grade 1 Donn Handicap at Gulfstream in February, arrived at Saratoga on Tuesday morning to prepare for a start in the Grade 1, $750,000 Whitney Handicap here Aug. 6. He will join other Grade 1 winners such as Tizway, Pool Play, Sidney’s Candy, Morning Line, and Rail Trip as well as graded stakes winners Mission Impazible and Rodman.
Trainer Chris Block said he shipped Giant Oak here from Arlington early in order to get a couple of works over Saratoga’s main track.
