Trainer: Brittany Russell
Jockey: Sheldon Russell
Post Time has had an impressive career with a record of 18-11-3-4, including numerous stakes races.
Multiple Grade-1 placed son of Frosted was a closing third in the contest last summer, but faces a deeper field while also drawing the widest of all for Brittany Russell. The gray posted a spectacular 126 Brisnet Late Pace rating at Laurel Park at the distance most recently, but he will need the pace to back up in the lane to have success on Saturday.
The 2025 Whitney S. (G1) has finally arrived! Take a look at these LIVE odds below.
- Trainer: Todd Pletcher
- Jockey: John Velazquez
Fierceness has a lifetime record of 11-6-2-1 with two starts this year with one win at Churchill Downs in the Alysheba S. and one second in the Met H.
Standout son of City of Light dons a healthy 4-3-1-0 mark at Saratoga and is the one to beat for Todd Pletcher. The four-year-old bay has had two good preps leading up to this target and seems poised to be the one to run down in the lane. John Velazquez keeps the mount and will be forcing the action early on atop the superb colt.

This will be Contrary Thinking's first stakes race entry out of five career starts and only three for the year.
Recent allowance winner from the Brown barn has never been two turns and takes a massive class hike, as well. The Into Mischief gelding looked good last time, but the five-year-old is hard to endorse while facing this group.
