Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 28, 2019 Journalists Share Posted February 28, 2019 It’s always among the key questions on everyone’s mind as 2-year-olds begin racing when Keeneland opens in April and the first-year sires have their first chance to show off their progeny. In this ongoing series, we have sought the opinion of several top judges as to who will be on top of the podium when 2019 is in the books. Terry Finley, President & CEO, West Point Thoroughbreds: HONOR CODE “I think it will be a dead-heat between Honor Code and Liam’s Map. I have spent a lot of time in Ocala over the last three months, as has David Ingordo, and every time we go that’s one of the first things we talk about, the new sires. You’re on the rail and your watching horses train and you see one that really impresses you. You ask someone, ‘Who is that horse by?’ On a regular basis, the answer we kept getting was Honor Code or Liam’s Map. West Point owns a couple of Honor Codes and we actually own a piece of Liam’s Map as a stallion. We tried to buy a couple of Liam’s Maps and couldn’t buy them. We also own an American Pharoah. We have access to all three of these stallions and they are all coming to the racetrack and the 2-year-old market in very good shape. There’s definitely been a lot of buzz about Liam’s Map and Honor Code, especially Honor Code, in large part because they are stamping them pretty well and most of them have a good bit of chrome on them. If any, he’s the one I’m hearing the most talk about.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
