It has since been revealed that White owns more Standardbreds that are slated to compete at racetracks this summer.
White co-owns his three Illinois-bred horses with his friend Adam Hawthorne.
“Devin is really excited to get into the business,” said Hawthorne. “This is his first time getting involved in horse racing and we plan to buy more Illinois-bred horses next year. Illinois is my favourite state to race in, bar none.”
The names of the horses White and Hawthorne purchased are First And Goal, Timber Creek Molly, and Creations Dream MV. The owners plan to keep them stabled in Louisiana during the winter where trainer Herman Wheeler will work with them. This spring, Wheeler will move the horses to compete in Illinois.
