Racing! Congrats to Travers winner Code of Honor
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we also marvel at Catalina Cruise’s stretch run.
This year’s Travers was what you expected, Maximum Security on the lead and Game Winner on his outside as the two colts approached the top of the homestretch.
What? It didn’t happen? Nope, didn’t happen. Both horses were scratched well in advance of Saturday’s $1.25 million race that normally has the best 3-year-olds in the country.
Well, this year’s 3-year-old campaign was so devoid of super horses that the Travers struggled to find relevance.
In the end, though, Code of Honor worked his way through a crowded field to win by three lengths in the $1.25 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga. It was trainer Shug McGaughey’s fourth Travers win but the first in 21 years.
Entering the stretch Code of Honor was with Tacitus and Mucho Gusto, all with a shot of winning the race. But Code of Honor had more than enough to win. Code of Honor paid $10.80, $5.20 and $3.80. Tacitus was second and Mucho Gusto was third, followed by Endorsed, Owendale, Highest Honors, Tax, Chess Chief, Laughing Fox, Scars Are Cool, Looking at Bikinis and Everfast.
“It doesn’t get old, but it can’t take that long again,” McGaughey said. “He’s been a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde horse. [Saturday], he put it all together. He trained really well. The Dwyer was a really good race, so we were hoping we were going to see what we saw.”
John Velazquez was the winning jockey.
This was a Breeders’ Cup win-and-you’re-in race for the Classic.
Del Mar review
The feature on Saturday was the Grade 2 $200,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes over seven furlongs. And, it was a great stretch run between Catalina Cruiser and Giant Expectations.
Both entered the stretch in good position on the front. It appeared that Giant Expectations got a head in front in mid-stretch but as the finish line approached Catalina Cruiser found more to win by a head.
Catalina Cruiser paid $3.00, $2.20 and $2.10. Giants Expectations was second and American Anthem finished third.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say:
John Sadler (winning trainer) “I think he ran a really good Beyer, a really good Ragozin figure. That’s a fast race, I could tell, on this track. He was wide all the way, was involved in the running all the way, so I was really pleased. He’s a big horse and he’s got a big heart; I really thought that (when headed in the stretch) he would fight.”
Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “We were wide [through the first four furlongs], but I was comfortable. He was going easy. At the quarter pole, Giant Expectations made a good move to get by me. He was in front but my horse fought back. He accelerated and ran well to win.”
Del Mar preview
The last card of the week is nine races with the usual 2 p.m. start time. There are four turf races and one stakes. There are also three allowance races.
The stakes is the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes for 3-year-olds going a mile. The race was originally supposed to be the return of Omaha Beach, but the early morning-line favorite for the Kentucky Derby came down with a virus and is now pointed toward the Awesome Again at Santa Anita.
What’s left has some firepower, but not as much as originally planned. Improbable is the even money favorite for trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Drayden Van Dyke. He is three-for-seven lifetime but hasn’t won since the Los Alamitos Futurity in December. His last race was a sixth in the Preakness.
The second favorite is lightly raced King Jack for Jerry Hollendorfer and Mike Smith. He has won both his starts by margins of 3 ¼ and 1 ¼. The post is set for about 5:40 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 7, 6, 10 (3 also eligible), 10 (4 ae), 9, 10 (2 ae), 6, 11 (3 ae).

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 9 Day by Day (5-1)
“Ship & Win” candidate Day by Day looks very interesting in this first-level allowance/optional claimer going 6 furlongs on dirt. A winner of six of 25 lifetime starts, including her most recent in the slop at Churchill Downs, she was claimed out of the race by high-percentage trainer Jonathan Wong. Drawn well outside with tactical speed, tab at a fair price.
Saturday’s result: Fashionably Fast ($14.20) was able to relax behind the leaders like we had hoped, found room into the stretch, then drew away nicely to record handy win.

Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 6 Dashng Kora (5-2)
Although he didn’t turn in any spectacular morning works, this gelding catches a soft field for his debut and has a strong jockey/trainer combo in Ruben Lozano and Valentin Zamudio. In both of his drills, Dashng Kora lugged in badly midway before leveling late and ran hard in last 12.4 gate drill when outworked by one length. Dark Night (2-1) and Jess Karma (3-1) haven’t displayed noticeable improvement in recent outs.
