Wilmington, Del., October 3, 2026 — Eagle Up III, London Reid Thoroughbreds and Non Stop Stable’s Whitten Way persevered to score her second career stake victory in the $160,000 White Clay Creek Stakes at Delaware Park today.
With Emanuel Rosario aboard, the 2-year-old daughter of Game Winner prevailed by 1 ½-lengths over, Life Changing with Samuel Marin, in second. It was another 3/4-lengths farther back to My Hometown Gal, with Raul Mena, in third. The 4-to-5 favorite, Girvy Girl with Micah Husbands, finished sixth.
Whitten Way returned $15.20 as the third choice in the field of seven. In her previous outing, the Delaware Certified Maryland-bred trained by Gary Capuano finished fourth in the restricted six furlong $125,000 Small Wonder at Delaware Park on September 11. On August 8, she won the six furlong $75,000 Blue Hen Stakes at Delaware Park. She raised her record to three wins from four starts with earnings of $196,250.
“This family is just incredible, they keep producing,” said winning trainer Gary Capuano. “Stretching out is the big thing. She trained really well coming into this race. She had a nice mile workout and I knew she was fit, so it was just a matter of getting the right kind of trip. We will likely point for a race in Maryland for her next start.”
