According to Trakus, Honor A.P. ‘Fastest’ Horse in Derby

Using information from the Trakus chart of the GI Kentucky Derby, horse owner, college professor and horseplayer, Marshall Gramm has found that fourth-place finisher Honor A.P. (Honor Code) may have actually run faster than any of his rivals.

According to Trakus, Honor A.P. traveled 6,712 feet or 49 feet further than race winner Authentic (Into Mischief). Tiz the Law (Constitution) also lost some ground and traveled 23 feet further then Authentic. For all three horses, their average speed was 37.8 miles per hour.

Gramm took an even deeper look into the numbers. He divided the distance each horse traveled by their final time, giving him a calculation of how many feet they traveled per second. Honor A.P. covered 55.40 feet per second. He then used that figure to come up with a final adjusted time for a mile-and-a-quarter, which is 6,600 feet. His recalculated time for Honor A.P. was 1:59.14.

His adjusted time for Authentic was 1:59.40. The actual time for the race was 2:00.61.

Gramm’s calculations confirm that Honor A.P. may have had the worst trip of any of the main contenders in the Derby. This is the Equibase chart caller’s summary of his trip: “Honor A.P. hesitated at the start, was unhurried while four wide into the first turn, looped into the backstretch six deep, made a steady sweeping move through the second turn, fanned into the nine path into the stretch, continued on and was making progress.

Honor A.P was beaten five lengths.

MGSW Synchrony Retired; Stud Plans Pending

Six-time graded stakes winner and Pin Oak Stud homebred Synchrony (Tapit–Brownie Points, by Forest Wildcat) has been retired from racing. The Michael Stidham trainee sustained a minor injury in his last out, an off-the-board finish in Monmouth Park’s Oceanport S. Aug. 9, and it was determined the required time to fully recover would cause him to miss the major fall racing.

Over six years of campaigning, Synchrony recorded his finest years in 2018 and 2019, when his wins included the GII Muniz Memorial H. at Fair Grounds and the GII King Edward S. at Woodbine. He also placed in Churchill’s GI Old Forester Turf Classic S. in 2018. His final tally of 29-9-5-6 and earnings of $956,652 included 16 black-type wins or placings.

Pin Oak bred and campaigned Synchrony, as well as his dam, GSW & GISP Brownie Points. His GSW half-sister, Chocolate Kisses (Candy Ride {Arg}), was also bred by Pin Oak and sold for $410,000 at Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga yearling sale in 2017.

Synchrony is scheduled to arrive at the Central Kentucky nursery this week. Stud plans are pending.
