A bit surprised CODE OF HONOR went backwards in his smashing Travers win last out. Thought he’d have paired up. His slight move backwards here is the figure makers art. DRF’s Beyer figs say he went from a 97 to a 105, and that doesn’t consider his 8 wide far turn. The BRIS figs say he went from a 97 to a 105. But I’m not complaining.

It says that there were a lot of Travers runners (like STARS ARE COOL, in Saturday’s Jefferson at CD) that were way overmatched at Saratoga. The Travers 5th place finisher tries the Oklahoma Derby Sunday.
