Seize the Whiskey ran a very nice third in her race at Parx on Tuesday chasing a 3-5 gate to wire logical winner. Breaking from post 7 Seize the Whiskey stalked close up early on the outside, commenced her bid on the turn, loomed in upper stretch, dug in gamely, then weakened late and lost second at the wire.
