In one of the first major matchups of 2026, the stars aligned where Sovereignty, Journalism, and White Abarrio met in the G2 Oaklawn Handicap. In the end, it was the Spendthrift-Bred White Abarrio.

Born at Spendthrift in 2019, White Abarrio is sired by Race Day and out of the Into Mischief mare Catching Diamonds. He was sold as a short yearling for $7,500 and later as a 2 year old for $40,000. A bargain.

White Abarrio has made over $8,500,000 on the track and has wins in the G1 Florida Derby, G1 Whitney, G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic, and G1 Pegasus World Cup.
