Quip (Distorted Humor) will likely skip Saturday's GI Whitney H. to instead target the Aug. 17 GI Pacific Classic at Del Mar, according to trainer Rodolphe Brisset. The bay won the Apr. 13 GII Oaklawn H. and missed by just a neck when second behind Seeking the Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) in the June 15 GII Stephen Foster S. last time out.
“Quip will breeze [Monday] and on Tuesday morning we'll have to call the racing office to make sure everyone went in the [Whitney], the way it's supposed to be,” Brisset said. “If one of the top contenders ends up not running we could look at the Whitney, too, but as of now we are leaning towards the Pacific Classic.”
