The Withers will be ran this Saturday, but this time around at 9F.
Up until 2012, the race had been run at a Mile. Then moved to a Mile and a 1/16th.
Now we run the 9F distance which is the longest any of these contenders will ever run until/before they run in the Kentucky Derby.
Undoubtedly the Holly Bull and Robert B Lewis will take precedence over this race at Aqueduct, but I do find it very interesting that this race has now moved to a critical 9F distance.
Any particular reason as to why?
