Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 7, 2021 Journalists Posted August 7, 2021 Even-money favorite Knicks Go (h, 5, Paynter–Kosmo's Buddy, by Outflanker) ran off from a strong bunch in Saturday's GI Whitney S. to earn an automatic spot in the starting gate for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic. Last seen posting a 10 1/4-length bounce-back victory in the GIII Cornhusker H. July 2, the grey opened up some six or seven lengths on his competition down the backside through a half in :46.76. His rivals started to inch closer after six furlongs in 1:10.32, with champion filly Swiss Skydiver (Daredevil) taking the first run at him, but Knicks Go swatted away that challenge while well out in the track and re-broke near the sixteenth pole to prevail by some four lengths. Maxfield (Street Sense) was second, with GI Metropolitan H. hero Silver State (Hard Spun) rounding out the trifecta. Knicks Go stopped the clock in 1:47.70. Sales history: $40,000 wlg '16 KEENOV; $87,000 ylg '17 KEESEP. O-Korea Racing Authority. B-Angie Moore (MD). T-Brad H. Cox.
