I would be very interested to see some others get in at something like 108 with a jockey who can make the weight.......would give those of us who believe in weight a chance to take advantage of those who don\'t.

Personally, I suspect HONOR CODE ran an equal or better ThoroGraph performance figure than SHARED BELIEF did on Saturday. [The key would be if PRIVATE ZONE (with Navarro crowing about him before the race) could get loose and repeat that -3. If so, then HONOR CODE really ran giant to beat him going wide. If not, then I suspect HONOR CODE at least paired his -1.5 top last out or more likely (stretching out in distance, second off a layoff; both good for Shug) a figure better than that.

SHARED BELIEF was 1-5 for a reason: He ran against bums. Coming off a lifetime top effort, but not hammered on in his training for Saturday\'s race as he was last time facing a key rival, I\'m guessing that he ran a tad worse than last time. A negative 1.5? At least that\'s what I wrote on my Form when I was handicapping the race. Hollendorfer\'s older horses tend to fairly straight lines where performances are repeated.

I\'ll be interested to see how Jerry sees it.

I\'m not interested in these two meeting at a mile. I\'d like to see them at 1 1/8.

Honor Code a 108 Beyer carrying below scale(116) Got a perfect set up in front of him with Private Zone and Valid in a protracted little war up front.If JB agrees with Beyer, it\'s like TG neg -1.5, but ugly imo.

Honor Code getting lots of ink but needs to step up to rumble on par with Bayern/Shared Belief and a few others that are faster,couple of points.Lightly raced but unsound, will be an interesting one to follow.

I would bet with both fists against Honor Code going 2 turns against graded company. Especially at GP.

Good Luck,

If your looking for a horse to carry 109 pounds it would have  be a 3 year old aka Ready for Rye, Daredevil or Majestic Affair or a Kentuckian??
One of the 3 year olds to do it was Honour and Glory for Lukas or Pletcher!!!!!!
