FOY pace was even
hotter than I realized.
Agree with David, that we still don't know for sure how far Code of Honor wants to go yet.
I haven't heard anyone mention yet that Code of Honor was intimidated in the Mucho Man Stakes.
Heard most people treat his performance as a total mystery.
He was not going to win the Mucho Macho Man, but he lost momentum and was not persevered with much after Jose Ortiz made that strong aggressive move, drawing out his whip and then urging Mihos, who eventually ran down the leader in deep stretch.
A dream trip inside going 1 1/16 at Gulfstream doesn't reveal a lot about a true 2-turn race going 9 or 10 furlongs, but Code of Honor is a handsome horse, and he has been moving forward.
