Champion Whitmore breezed first set Saturday at his Oaklawn base in preparation for the track's Count Fleet Sprint Handicap.
Whitmore worked in company along the rail, going a half-mile in 49.40 seconds, according to trainer Ron Moquett. The track is fast on an overcast morning approaching 60 degrees.
