Horse Racing Results: Blame Wins the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga Race Course

Posted on Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Online Horse BettingBlame overtook heavily favored Quality Road at the wire to win the 83rd running of the $750,000 Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1) Saturday afternoon at Saratoga Race Course.

Ridden by jockey Garrett Gomez, the 4-year-old Arch colt sat comfortably in fourth through the early going, no more than five lengths off Quality Road’s surprisingly moderate opening fractions of 24.42, 48.06 and 1:11.92. Edging closer on the turn, Blame took dead aim on the front-runner as the Whitney Handicap field of six turned for home, closing steadily under a hand-ride and finally sticking his head in front for his fifth straight victory.

Blam raced the 1 1/8-mile Whitney Handicap in 1:48.88 making him the first horse to earn a guaranteed berth in the Breeders’ Cup Classic as part of the “Win and You’re In” series.
