(Monday, July 28) Commentator became the second oldest racehorse to win the $750,000 Whitney Handicap (G1), taking the field gate to wire and earning a starting berth in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course.

The Whitney and three other races on Saturday's card at Saratoga were part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In" series.

Kelso was the oldest horse to win the Whitney at the age of eight. At seven, Commentator joins Discovery as the second oldest runner to win the race, and just the third to win the prestigious race more than once.

Commentator also won the race in 2005.

"This is one of the greatest feats of all time," said winning trainer Nick  Zito. "He gets in that league with Kelso and Forego, which I wanted him to be in so they couldn't take him out. He's in that special league. He's an amazing horse."

Jockey John Velazquez quickly sent the gelding to take the lead and never looked back, leading at every pole and stopping the timer in 1:50.23 for the 1 1/8 miles.

The winner paid $10.80 as the second choice in the field of eleven.

Student Council rallied from the back of the pack to finish second, completing a $100.00 exacta.

Solar Flare was bet down to the favorite but faded in the stretch to finish seventh after tracking the early pace.

Commentator has now earned $1,541,936 in his career with a record of 19-12-1-2.

The stakes action on Saturday kicked off with Forever Together running down Dynaforce in the final strides to win the $500,000 Diana Stakes (G1).

Owned by Augustin Stables and trained by Jonathan Sheppard, the filly earned a spot in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf with the victory.

She covered the nine furlongs over "good" ground in 1:46.52 and returned $20.00.

Abraaj came with a five wide run and rolled down the stretch to win the $250,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G2). The victory earned the Shadwell Stable runner a start in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.

The son of Carson City paid $5.40 and ran the six furlongs in 1:10.23. The likely favorite in the race was Bustin Stones, who was a late scratch with heat in one of his front legs.

The shortest price winner of the day was Ginger Punch, who took the $250,000 Go For Wand Handicap (G1), paying a paltry $2.40 for the victory.

It was not easy for last year's Breeders' Cup Distaff winner. She was fourth and was shuffled back at the top of the stretch, was angled out and split runners in the stretch and went on to win by 1 ¼ lengths.

Trainer Bobby Frankel had a few anxious moments. "I was a little worried about finding a place to run," Frankel said. "They all ganged up on her. They were looking for her. When she dropped back inside, the hole finally opened up."

Ginger Punch now has earned $2,705,603 with a record of 19-11-5-2.

The mare earned an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Distaff to defend her title.
