Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 26, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 26, 2019 HIGHEST HONORS (c, 3, Tapit-Tap Your Feet, by Dixieland Band) may have been the less fancied of the Chad Brown duo, but he was the one still running on in the end to earn his black-type badge in the Curlin S. at Saratoga Friday. Sent off at 4-1 with his unbeaten stablemate Lookin at Bikinis (Lookin at Lucky) favored at even-money, the Farish homebred was reserved at the back of the pack as his barnmate carved out opening splits of :24.23 and :49.36. Given the cue by Jose Ortiz on the backstretch, the gray made rapid progress to draw alongside the leader in tandem with Endorsed () turning for home. Lookin At Bikinis tried to battle back from the rail, but Endorsed and Highest Honors had more momentum as they knocked heads in the four and five paths, respectively. Highest Honors dug deep in the final strides to push clear of his stubborn foe and score by 1 1/2 lengths, making him the 124th black-type winner for his leading sire. Endorsed filled the place spot and Lookin At Bikins hung on for third. A neck second on debut sprinting at Keeneland Apr. 20, Highest Honors earned his diploma by a length next out when stretched to 1 1/16 miles at Belmont June 1. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0. O/B-W.S. Farish (KY); T-Chad Brown.
