Abstract

I was fortunate to have and still co-own the racehorse Honor Code as part of a syndicate organized by Ben Haggin and Bill Farish of Lane’s End stud farm. The group included eight horses of which three like Honor Code had superior breeding. Honor Code was from the last crop of AP Indy out of Storm Cat dam the champion Serena’s Cat. AP Indy was the product of Seattle Slew with dam sire Secretariat and became a great racehorse and stallion. I discuss Honor Code’s career. In Early 2014 on the strength of a brilliant two year old year he was the morning line favorite for the Kentucky Derby. In 2015 he won two major Grade I races, namely the Met Mile and the Whitney. He was named the champion older dirt horse that year.
