All attention will be on the favorite Life Is Good, but if there is a specimen that can complicate the race for Pletcher’s pupil; Olympiad.
The one presented by Mott and led by the Venezuelan Junior Alvarado has five performances in this 2022, in none he has been defeated and he hopes to continue with this same streak. He is the second favorite according to the Morning Line of the competition.

The Whitney S is one of the main sand races left in the year and Olympiad’s performance will determine how it closes out.
Robert Clay, one of the majority owners of the specimen, said in an interview with Bloodhorse “We haven’t seen the best of it yet.” If he beats the favorite Life Is Good, his other presentation will most likely be the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Extending the winning streak to six promises to be Olympiad’s most formidable challenge to date. Reflecting the challenge he will face, for the first time in 2022, after those five wins in a row, he will be the underdog. That role should go to WinStar Farm’s Life Is Good.
