Honor Code Headed to South Florida After Surgery for Ridgling Condition
Paulick Report
Honor Code left the Big Apple a victor, following his big win in the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct on Saturday. According to the Daily Racing Form, the ridgling left by van on Sunday to the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., where he will undergo a procedure to remove an undescended testicle.
After which, the A.P. Indy colt is scheduled to resume training at Payson Park in Indiantown, Fla., the same facility that trainer Shug McGaughey trained last year’s Kentucky Derby winner, Orb.
“All we’re trying to do is eliminate what could be a potential problem,”McGaughey said of the medical procedure. He hopes to give Honor Code two starts before the Kentucky Derby, possibly making his 3-year-old debut in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 22.
Honor Code closed in Saturday’s Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager as the favored individual horse at 10-1.
