What race did Code of Honor skip during the Summer months that would have put him on top for you? What could he had added to his resume? The only two options would have been the Preakness or Belmont which would have taken out the Dwyer. He has danced every dance.

It is hard to believe that the BC Classic is the measure as to whether one would support Code of Honor for the three year old crown. Meanwhile, Omaha Beach sitting in the barn and lining up for the BC Sprint is a winning approach? In short, Omaha Beach skipped all the dances and when it is his time to finally step up and play with the big-boys, the connections go to the Sprint. There is nothing wrong with that ... but it is not what a three year old division champion who missed the entire summer does to win an Eclipse Award.
