Code of Honor finishes seventh in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita

Susie Raisher Code of Honor (outside) will make his first start Saturday since finishing seventh in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Code of Honor will have no shortage of challengers when he faces 10 rivals in his 4-year-old debut in Saturday’s Grade 3, $100,000 Westchester Stakes.

Code of Honor won the Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup – both Grade 1 stakes – last year as well as the Fountain of Youth and Dwyer. Code of Honor will break from post 9 under John Velazquez.

Among the more interesting challengers is Mihos, who is coming off a sharp allowance win April 17 at Gulfstream. In 2019, Mihos won the Mucho Macho Man Stakes while Code of Honor finished fourth.
