Whitebeam Goes Gate to Wire in Diana Repeat
Juddmonte is a family man. Whitebeam led every step of the way to win again in the $500,000 Diana Stakes (G1T) on July 13 at Saratoga Race Track.
Taking advantage of a moderate early tempo, Whitebeam broke away to claim an easy win against a team that was regrouping late in the game. Moira and cagemates Gina Romantic . Her 5 year old daughter Caravaggio gave trainer Chad Brown his unprecedented ninth victory at Diana as she finished with a final time of 1:48.14 for the 1 1/8-mile course on a hard grass track.
Flavien Prat guided Whitebeam, who won $11.60 in an extremely competitive race between older fillies and mares.
