Stevens has ridden Beholder 10 times, winning 9 stakes, the one loss was in NY, she came out of the race with a gash on her leg and was sidelined 2 mos. I think they are a perfect match, insync with each other, and I really expect her to romp in 2 weeks.

No way you can get a horse in a sink

Honor Code gallops like a freight train
By Dave Grening

It's not unusual to see HONOR CODE gallop strong, but this morning he had run on his mind more than usual during his 1 1-2-mile gallop around Belmont's main track.

I caught him from the mile pole to the wire in 1:51.68 with several sub 14-second eighths including one eighth in 13 seconds flat. Took him out 1 1-8 miles in 2:06.05 and 1 1-4 miles in 2:20.34.

Talked to Shug McGaughey Friday afternoon and he indicated Honor Code would have an official workout Sunday or Monday. As if he needed one after that.

Honor Code: Wow!
By David Grening

Posted : 1hr 21mins ago

HONOR CODE, prepping for the Breeders' Cup Classic, just put in a brilliantly fast workout, going a half-mile -- on my watch -- in 46.14 seconds, out five-furlongs in 58.16, six furlongs in 1:11.07 and seven furlongs in 1:24.50. I took him from the half-mile pole. Colleague Mike Vesce took him from the five-furlong pole and said he went his first eighth in 13 seconds. So, if you factor that eighth in he went a mile in 1:37.50.

Exercise rider Donna McMullen was aboard for the work, which came at 8:50 a.m. McMullen only asked Honor Code minimally late in the work and during the gallop out.

Honor Code usually works at 6:30 a.m. but I believe trainer Shug McGaughey waited until after the break to make sure water was put on the track at the renovation break. Temperatures were in the low 30s to start the day and the track was dry and fairly cuppy during early morning works.

Will have more details on this and other works later on drf.com
