Whirlaway Near Record Purses After Aqueduct Win
Whirlaway’s victory at Aqueduct in a mile and eighth overnight allowance brought his earnings to $360,536, closing to $56,894 behind Seabiscuit’s record. Owner Warren Wright and trainer Ben Jones plan a bold Brooklyn Handicap–Butler–Massachusetts schedule, possible Arlington bid, with Saratoga return. Betsetto Market Wise appears his main threat. weathered by a cough, Whitty may seek both Brooklyn and Bullet to close the gap. In other sports, Betty Jameson notes a relaxed opening day at the Western Open with high scores and optimistic field in war time.
