Lawyer Ron wins Whitney

Lawyer Ron set a track record Saturday in winning the Whitney Handicap, finishing the 1 1/8-mile race in a time of 1:46.64. Ridden by John Velazquez and trained by Todd Pletcher, Lawyer Ron picked up the automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Classic with the 4 3/4-length win. Pletcher said the 4-year-old could return at Saratoga in the Woodward Handicap near the end of the meet.
Wanderin Boy, the pacesetter, was second and Diamond Stripes was third.
