Retraining Goals with Laura & Whitmore Part 1 - presented by Retired Racehorse Project

"Retraining Goals" spotlights retired racehorses in second careers. In this recurring segment, we follow a different horse and rider combination in-training each month, gaining insight on their challenges + triumphs from meltdowns to ribbons along the way! This segment is presented by The Retired Racehorse Project. From sale reject, to problem child, to the unlikeliest of champions, Whitmore took his connections and fans on an illustrious journey, winning at the top level for a remarkable six years and capturing hearts through his final race in August 2021. Whitmore was the toughest charge Laura Moquett had ever seen, but the patience of his humans paid off— Whitmore won $4.5 million on his way to winning a Breeders’ Cup sprint + Eclipse Sprint Champion 2020! Now in his retraining, will he cooperate or will Laura be driven to her “Whit’s End”? The first goal is for Whitmore to lead the post parade for the inaugural Whitmore Stakes, a race formerly called the Hot Springs which he won four times, and which Oaklawn Park has renamed in his honor. Oaklawn will be celebrating Whitmore Day that day in hopes the fan favorite can be available for photo opps and a retirement party of sorts. Laura will have her work cut out for her getting him there! So far he’s impressed her with his retention of basic training, but not without some double-barrel kicks and bucks along the way— or the middle finger as his team likes to call it. Track their progress on Retraining Goals!
