Description
Honor Marie took a huge step forward in the Louisiana Derby, taking advantage of a hot pace and a good closer’s trip to rally behind Catching Freedom. It was a vastly improved run from his seasonal debut, where he might have been short off the layoff and likely didn’t care for the sloppy track. He seemingly bounced out of the race in fine fettle, recording a bullet five-eighths on April 25 at Churchill. A Grade 2 winner at Churchill last year, he obviously likes the racetrack. Distance shouldn’t be a problem as he ran on at the end of the 1 3/16-mile Louisiana Derby and is out of a half-sister to St. Leger (1 13/16 miles) winner Rule of Law. There should be another honest pace for him to attack in the Derby. He might have the right running style.
