On a Preakness Day that will forever be remembered as one for “making the impossible possible,” #PABred Witty (Great Notion) did just that four races prior to the second leg of the Triple Crown as he delivered a remarkable last-to-first performance in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint Stakes 🤩

Despite comments made on the difficulty to make up ground on the Pimlico turf this past Saturday, Witty proved he was up to the task as he moved out around a wall of horses and swept to the center of the track before pulling ahead to win by 3 1/4 lengths 🔥 It marked the seventh career stakes victory for the 6-year-old gelding that has now improved his record to 10 wins, 11 seconds, and one third from 31 starts with $801,782 earned. 

A half-brother to MGIW Caravel, Witty is co-owned and trained by Elizabeth Merryman, who owns the gelding in partnership with Qatar Racing and Marc Detampel. 

Fun Fact: His sister Caravel also won at Pimlico during Preakness weekend back in 2021, taking the The Very One Stakes on May 14, 2021.
