Honor A. P. Contender Profile

Honor A. P. is by 2015 Breeders' Cup Classic 3rd place finisher Honor Code. Honor Code is also represented by Max Player in the 2020 Kentucky Derby. Arguably the real star of Honor A. P.'s pedigree could be mom. His dam, Hollywood Story, has 4 years of Breeders' Cup appearances and a who's who list of graded stakes throughout her 27-4-6-6 career worth $1,171,105 in earnings.

Family aside, talented connections sit with Honor A. P. in conditioner John Shireff and jockey Mike Smith, both of whom connected for Zenyatta's campaign. Honor A. P. was a consistent performer in California's Kentucky Derby prep-races with a first in the Santa Anita Derby and pair of seconds in the Shared Belief and San Felipe Stakes.

PRO Santa Anita Derby winner will appreciate the distance.
CON Upset loss in Shared Belief isn’t as concerning as fact he’s never shipped
