Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 27, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 27, 2018 W. S. Farish homebred Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) will skip an intended start in Saturday’s GII Remsen S. at Aqueduct after a breeze his Hall of Fame trainer and rider felt was subpar, conditioner Shug McGaughey said Tuesday. The chestnut breezed a best-of-20 five furlongs in 1:01.55 over the Belmont training track under John Velazquez Monday morning. “I am not going to run Code of Honor in the Remsen,” McGaughey told the TDN by phone. “The horse is fine and his breeze yesterday was fine, but Johnny and I thought it was not his best, so I decided to wait on the race. He will run next at Gulfstream after the first of January.” A debut winner at Saratoga Aug. 18, Code of Honor made an impressive late rally to be second after stumbling hard at the break of the Oct. 6 GI Champagne S. and trailing the field early. He was one of the talking horses of the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, but was a late scratch after spiking a fever.
