HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Code Review is currently not the most accomplished 3-year-old in the barn of Gulfstream Park’s leading trainer, Saffie Joseph Jr. With only a single start on his résumé, he’s flying under the radar behind stablemates Solitude Dude and Bravaro. But the well-bred son of Uncle Mo gives the impression he could ultimately end up the best of the group as he progresses through his sophomore season. Code Review finally launched his career Jan. 25, running to his 3-5 backing with a workmanlike 1 1/2-length victory going six furlongs, for which he earned a 78 Beyer Speed Figure. He punctuated the performance with a very long and strong gallop-out after the race. “The way he won the first time was very impressive,” Joseph said. “He ran fast and kept going afterwards, galloped out all the way back to the five-furlong pole, which you don’t see many horses, least of all 3-year-olds, do in their first starts.” :: Play Gulfstream Park with confidence! DRF Past Performances, Picks, and Clocker Reports are available now.  Joseph’s biggest problem has been finding a spot for Code Review’s second start. He entered him in a seven-furlong allowance race for last Sunday’s card that failed to fill. That’s the same race in which trainer Bill Mott entered Chief Wallabee, who ultimately finished a game second behind the favored Commandment in Saturday’s Grade 2 Fountain of Youth. “The race Sunday would have been perfect for him timing-wise. Instead, we’re now backed up,” Joseph explained. “I’ve nominated him for the Hutcheson on the 14th, but that race is at six furlongs and, ideally, I’d really like to stretch him out in his next start. Ultimately, I think he’ll go two turns without a problem. The way he trains, he always shows he wants to do more. And he is a full brother to Laoban, who won the Jim Dandy.” Joseph said the next race will decide how everything unfolds for Code Review during the spring. “This horse came in with high expectations and has not disappointed us yet,” Joseph said. “The [Kentucky] Derby is not totally eliminated, but we’re definitely behind schedule and have no urgency to push him there. The Preakness could be a goal, but we really have to get the next race in and see where we’re at.” In lieu of racing Sunday, Code Review turned in yet another eye-catching work, breezing four furlongs in 46.75 seconds and finishing in hand before galloping out five-eighths in 59.69. He wasn’t the barn’s most noteworthy worker that morning. That honor went to multiple Grade 1 winner White Abarrio, who cruised an easy three furlongs from the quarter pole in a leisurely 37.26 a short while later. It was his first work since finishing second behind stablemate Skippylongstocking in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational on Jan. 24. “Just letting him stretch his legs,” Joseph said afterward. “Once we decided to skip the Challenger at Tampa, we have plenty of time to get him ready for his next goal, which will be the Oaklawn Handicap on April 18.” The Oaklawn Handicap is the same race to which Mott said he is currently pointing Horse of the Year Sovereignty to for his 2026 debut. “Even if Sovereignty does end up going to that race, we’re not changing our plans,” Joseph said. “If we’re going to beat him, our best chance is probably with him coming off the long layoff.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
