Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 2, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 2, 2019 Code of Honor (c, 3, Noble Mission {GB}–Reunited, by Dixie Union), a disappointing fourth as the favorite in the Mucho Macho Man S. Jan. 5, bounced back in a big way with a 9-1 upset while making his two-turn debut in Saturday’s GII Xpressbet Fountain of Youth S. at Gulfstream Park. The rail-drawn Farish homebred raced in a midpack fifth as 6-5 favorite and jaw-dropping debut winner Hidden Scroll (Hard Spun) hit the gas through fractions of :22.80 and :45.69. Code of Honor put in a big run on the far turn, challenged for command at the top of the stretch, took over shortly thereafter, and held the fast-finishing Bourbon War (Tapit) safe by 3/4 of a length. The comebacking GIII Nashua S. winner Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) was third; Hidden Scroll tired to fourth. The final time for the 1 1/16-mile Fountain of Youth was 1:43.85. An impressive front-running winner first out at the Spa last summer, the chestnut put in an impressive rally for second after stumbling badly at the start in the GI Champagne S. last fall. Sales history: $70,000 RNA yrl ’17 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 4-2-1-0. O/B-W S Farish (Ky); T-Shug McGaughey. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
