After stalking the leaders early, Henny’s Hurricane, by Henny Hughes, went four wide on the turn but was not worse for the wear as he pulled away to win by a widening two and one-half lengths over Saratoga’s main track.
Bred by Liberation Farm in Kentucky, Henny’s Hurricane is a half-sister to the Listed stakes-placed winner Coronation and is out of G3 Delaware Handicap winner Amarillo. She, in turn, is a half-sister to G3 winner Government Corner and G3-placed Maverick Miner. Amarillo has a Medaglia d'Oro colt on the ground in 2010.
Henny Hughes, the only three-year-old to win the G1 King’s Bishop and Vosbrugh, is the sire of five other winners from his first crop of two-year-olds.
