Histoire et caractéristiques
[modifier | modifier le code]Crée en 1928 et rendant hommage à la Famille Whitney, impliquée dans le développement des courses à Saratoga, les Whitney Stakes étaient nommés Whitney Handicap, et reste parfois encore désigné sous ce nom. La course se déroule selon la formule handicap, c'est-à-dire que le poids à porter étant déterminé pour chaque cheval en fonction de ses performances, avec pour objectif d'égaliser les chances. Labellisée groupe 2 lors de l'introduction du système des courses de groupe au début des années 70, puis groupe 1 à partir de 1981, elle se dispute sur la distance de 1 800 mètres (2 000 mètres jusqu'en 1955) et son allocation s'élève à 1 200 000 dollars. Le vainqueur de l'épreuve est automatiquement qualifié pour le Breeders' Cup Classic.
Certains des plus grands champions de l'histoire des courses américaines ont remporté les Whitney Stakes, tels Equipoise, War Admiral, Tom Fool, Dr. Fager, Alydar, Easy Goer, Invasor ou Gun Runner. Et bien sûr Kelso, qui l'a remporté à trois reprises, un record partagé avec Discovery, triple vainqueur dans les années 30. Six juments ont inscrit leur nom au palmarès, Black Maria (1928), Bateau (1929), Esposa (1937), Gallorette (1948), Lady's Secret (1986), et Personal Ensign (1988). L'épisode le plus fameux de l'histoire des Whitney Stakes reste la défaite surprise du crack Secretariat en 1973.
