Honor Code unlikely for Juvenile; Point of Entry readies for Turf comeback

Champagne runner-up Honor Code could see action again this year, but most

likely it will be at Aqueduct, not Santa Anita, Hall of Fame trainer Shug

McGaughey said Sunday morning.

"I'll watch him and see," he said of the two-year-old A. P. Indy colt, who is

owned by Lane's End Racing and Dell Ridge Farm. "I'm not real inclined to go to

the Breeders' Cup with him. Obviously I'll talk to Mr. (Will) Farish and see

what they want to do.

"As I've said before, I'd sure like to have a nice horse for next year.

You've got the Remsen going 1 1/8 miles going around two turns (November 30).

I'm sure not ruling out the Nashua (at one mile November 3) and the Remsen, or

maybe just the Remsen."

McGaughey hopes to be represented in next month's Breeders' Cup with multiple

Grade 1 winner Point of Entry, who breezed five furlongs in 1:02 4/5 over

Belmont's fast main track on Saturday, his fourth work since returning to the

worktab on September 14.

"I'm hoping (Hall of Fame jockey) Johnny (Velazquez) will be back from

Keeneland next Sunday to work him on the turf, and go from there," McGaughey

said of Point of Entry, who emerged from his victory in the Manhattan Handicap

in June with a condylar fracture in his left hind cannon bone that was

surgically repaired.
