Honor Code, Tonalist top draws in deep Whitney

An impressive 3 3/4-length winner of the Metropolitan H. (G1) last out, Honor

Code (A.P. Indy) has been installed as the 3-1 morning line favorite in

Saturday's $1.25 million

Whitney (G1) at Saratoga. The four-year-old colt will

face a talented group of rivals in the 1 1/8-mile test.

Met Mile runner-up Tonalist (Tapit), the 2014 Belmont Stakes (G1) hero, is

listed as the 7-2 second choice. The four-year-old colt exits a neck second in

the July 4 Suburban (G2), generating a 110 BRIS Speed rating.

Other notables in

the 10-horse field include Noble Bird (Birdstone) and Lea (First Samurai), the

one-two finishers from the June 13 Stephen Foster (G1); Moreno (Ghostzapper),

who will make a title defense; 2014 Travers (G1) winner V.E. Day (English

Channel); and the up-and-coming Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song) from the Todd

Pletcher barn.
