White Abarrio is an unrelenting champion. Heading into the @OaklawnRacing Handicap, the spotlight was on Sovereignty and Journalism—but the seasoned vet reminded everyone exactly what he’s made of.

Facts though 😂

a girl on TikTok... today I went into the bathroom at Kroger, and there was a man in there. I knew it was the right bathroom because I use it often. It shocked me for a second (because it's out of the ordinary) but then I went into the stall used the restroom and as I was washing my hands an elderly woman came out of the handicapped bathroom. He then proceeded to help his mother (or grandmother) wash her hands. It's really not as serious as we make it out to be on the internet.

Love to see a trainer genuinely love their horses the way Saffie loves Abarrio

No, I haven’t taken my hat off since draft night if yall were wondering 🤣

Reporter: "Do you guys feel like you're built to win?" Jalen Brunson: "Yes." Reporter: "Someday I'm gonna get a 2-word answer from you" Brunson: "Yes sir."

Notice that Pete Buttigieg spoke for 1.25 hours tonight in Tulsa and he had no teleprompter. And he was brilliant. Pete is the real deal. His talent can't be faked.

Two GOATs 🫶❤️🏇🏆

Been this way since he was at Gonzaga. I remember working the UW game and as soon as he caught the ball at the free throw line, I literally said “ball game” over headset to our camera ops. Haven’t seen many better at it.

Dear connections of White Abarrio, Sovereignty and Journalism….. Can we please do this again maybe on Memorial Day weekend or Belmont Day…. Signed, The Entire Racing World

Very clever, Admin. Didn’t think of this when we named him.

White Abarrio just 30K shy of $8,500,000. Dropped out of a winless mare and bought for $40,000 at auction... ... AND HE STILL HAS ALL HIS PARTS !!

Had to watch the replay again of the Oaklawn Handicap to get a feel on a few things…when you’re calling a race, especially of that magnitude, your mind is in a little bit different place than everyone else because it’s working differently…it’s working very hard to get things right in the call. And you’re watching it a little differently too. -Sovereignty is going to get a ton out of that. Nobody would have guessed he was going to be on the lead, but him being allowed to run wasn’t a bad thing (I thought.) He was fresh and okay to be out there, so why fight him? He’ll be really ready to roll next time. -Journalism was in the worst spot of the “big 3.” Let Sovereignty get loose and you’ll have a tough time running him down. Press him and it’ll be a tough task to turn him away and then White Abarrio. He ran well enough and is a very good horse, but not quite as good as Sovereignty. And that’s nothing to be ashamed about, obviously. -Masterful ride by Irad on White Abarrio. But it’s horse racing, and as good of a ride as that was, the horse himself rose to the occasion as well- and he was the one running! He’s fantastic. He got a great set up off two dueling horses throughout, but again, right decision making by Irad, and the horse did the rest as push button as he was.

The sky looks great but we hear #thunder is coming. #ThunderOverLouisville2026

White Abarrio ran the fastest time in today’s 84th Running of the G2 $1.25m Oaklawn Handicap since Geri in 1996, covering the 1 1/8 in 1:47.2 with Irad Ortiz, Jr. in the irons.🏇The 7yo son of Race Day is trained by Saffie Joseph, Jr. for C 2 Racing Stable LLC, Gary Barber and La Milagrosa Stable LLC🏆

@MikeSJUfan @shaneF1984 @AndyPattonCBB I know Pitino is....

@Zag4Life08 @shaneF1984 @AndyPattonCBB Ya and Rick Pitino is a hall of fame coach. The new PAC 12 still sucks.

Massamba out enjoying a beautiful, sunny day in Spokane ☀️ awfully hard to leave a place with weather like this

"It was a great race and we're thankful to come out on top. Maybe they'll beat us next time but we're going to enjoy today!" 🎙️ @themeganburgess got @SaffieJosephJr's emotional reaction after White Abarrio's win.

When the best horses stay in training past their 3yo campaigns you can have races like today’s Oaklawn Handicap. Thanks to the connections of White Abarrio (the old man), Sovereignty and Journalism for helping Oaklawn put on this memorable race for the fans.
