Another side note- good to see Shug get a major win again. An honorable horseman who’d never cry foul to get a win in a Grade 1. Remember seeing Shug at Belmont Park throughout the 90s; always felt he prepped his horses right. Aging I’m sure he doesn’t get the horses he once did but nice to see him get at least one more. Congratulations Shug.

Must be Tough when you know you will never train a horse as good as easy goer ever again

Johnny V. does not get the favorites to ride much anymore, that goes to Ortiz's and Castellano, but he still brings them in. He had winners Sat. of $22.80, $16.60, and $10.80 in Travers. He is still the best!!

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "what does the rating mean in horse racing?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Peyarper Subjective Primacy - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to get a profitable betting system minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

What a ride J.V!! The old fox knows his tricks, smart he knew the pace was fast he was like no worries it’s a mile and a quarter .

Love Tacitus but man...that was some race!

What a race by J.V., I had Code of Honor as one of my singles.

@@TheJustjim3333 "MS right now is the top 3 yr old" the Haskell is actually a lesser race than any of the triple crown races. It might also be true that if COH and MS were to match race that MS would likely win. However if the vote for top 3 yr were held today COH would win. MS would have to beat older horses this fall in order to take the championship away from him.

Dang, we’ve lost Deep Impact and Roaring Lion this year. Two of my favs. Terrible.

Oh yeah l did pick Tacitus,Code of Honor and Mucho Gusto which l saw him in 3rd place personally at Haskell Invitations July 20,2019 and Tax for my 4th pick. Yep it was good to see COH again l picked him last year running with War of Will and Bourbon War. I was really aiming for Tapit’s boy Tacitus to win. Congrats to COH happy It was a safe race.🐎🐎❤️👍🍀🌹🌹🍀

Wow that horse looked like he jumped in at the 1/8th pole!

Wow that #2. See that horse tracker.. He was 6th down the backstretch then he fell back like 20 lengths, then he gained 25 lengths and then dropped again to make up another 20 or so lengths and then powers through the stretch! Legendary! LoL

Wonderful race! So happy to see Shug and Johnny V. back on top, they are great horsemen! Can't understand why great trainers and jockeys start fading away when they get older but their skills are still intact. Congratulations to Shug, Johnny and Code of Honor!

@@spirituallifecoachinginsti7207 I agree, he needs rest. Its a long gruel the triple crown. I look for him to WIN some big races as a 4 year old. Tacitus reminds me of Skip Away 20 yrs ago. Always in the money, but took time for him to win. I think they should think of a jockey change like they did with Skip away

I knew Code of Honor was gonna win it because is a very good horse and you will see Maximum Security and Code of Honor in a rematch in the Breeders' Cup Classic on November 2nd

Nothing against the talented Runhappy, may he have a long, happy and successful retirement, but calling the Travers "the Runhappy Travers" grates on my ears and eyes. I hate it.

What a bone head move to have Tacitus run front wire to wire, he is a deep closer, having blinkers helped but did not like trainer or jockey to pull this crap. Tacitus is a premier horse and has three 2nd place and should of won at least two of the three! Tacitus bad luck you deserve better!! :-)

Horses need breaks sometimes

Typical set up race. Not sure Baffert wanted Tálamo on the lead. Tacitus’s jock way too aggressive going after Mucho Gusto way too early on the far turn Both had nothing left to turn anybody back in the stretch. Code of Honor happened to be the one to inherit the win. But that’s racing. Not sure you’ll see Code of Honor win again anytime soon seeing how some of your better horses didn’t run in this today. On a side note Tacitus IS trained by Bill Mott. They did get second which for Bill Mott is just like getting a win so I’m sure he’s happy. Surprised he didn’t cry foul again.
