Equine sports:
His father, Harry Payne Whitney, had been an avid polo player and thoroughbred racehorse owner, and C.V. Whitney followed in his footsteps, winning the U.S. Open polo title three times. Since 1979, the Greenwich Polo Club at Conyers Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut, has awarded the C.V. Whitney Cup to the winner of an annual polo tournament.

He was the third generation of Whitneys to be heavily involved in thoroughbred horse racing. The Grade 1 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga Race Course was inaugurated in his family's honor in 1928. C.V. Whitney acquired his father's stable in 1930 and on May 17, his two-year-old colt Equipoise gave him his first stakes race victory when he won the Keene' Memorial Stakes at Belmont Park. Equipoise would go on to become a success on the racetrack and as a leading sire, and would be inducted into racing's Hall of Fame in 1957. Among Whitney's other outstanding horses, Top Flight was the 1931 American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly and the 1932 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, and was also voted into the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame.

Although he had fifteen horses compete in the Kentucky Derby, Whitney never won the prestigious race. Silver Spoon was the only filly entered in the Derby between the years 1945 and 1980, coming in a credible fifth in 1959. Ridden by jockey Eddie Arcaro and trained by Sylvester Veitch, Whitney's horse Phalanx won the first division of the 1947 Wood Memorial Stakes, finished second in the 1947 Kentucky Derby, took third in the ensuing Preakness Stakes, then won the Belmont Stakes. In the 1951 Kentucky Derby, Whitney's Veitch-trained colt Counterpoint was still developing after an injury as a yearling that almost ended his career and tired badly, finishing 11th. However, Counterpoint came back to take second place in the Preakness Stakes and subsequently gave Whitney his second win in the Belmont Stakes and then went on to earn 1951 Horse of the Year honors. Among other successful horses from his stables, Career Boy won the United Nations Handicap and was voted the Eclipse Award champion Grass Horse for 1956. And First Flight was one of his best fillies, winning the Matron Stakes and beating males in Belmont's Futurity Stakes in 1946.

Great Quality Filter and Perfect Fit for My 2022 CR-V
I bought this EPAuto air filter for my 2022 Honda CR-V 1.5L, and it couldn’t have been easier to install. It fits exactly like the original — snug and secure — and the whole process took under five minutes without any tools. Just open the air box, pull out the old filter, and drop this one in. The quality feels solid with a sturdy frame and well-made filter material. It’s not flimsy at all, and you can tell it’s built to last. After swapping it in, I noticed the engine felt a bit smoother, and there was a slight improvement in responsiveness, especially during acceleration. I’m also hoping it helps with fuel efficiency over time. Honestly, for the price and convenience, this is a no-brainer. It’s a simple upgrade you can do yourself that helps protect your engine and saves you money on dealership replacements. Highly recommended if you drive a newer CR-V like mine!

Size Does Matter
Product: Air Intake Filter Brand: EPAuto Positives: Super affordable and compact. Easy to remove and install, just loosen 4 screws and that’s it. Made with quality and durable material. The filter provides ideal airflow for the engine to function properly. Negatives: None. Overall Impression: I needed a replacement filter for my wife’s car and I didn’t want to spend a small fortune. This item was practically a steal at the list price. No need to spend more money, all the quality and longevity can be had with this filter. My wife drives her car almost every day and that means it gets a pretty good amount of use and lasts about 12 months until I decide to change them again. I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for a similar product.
