Cervantes and Favorite Honey were the best this time and they crossed the line a neck in front, stopping the timer at :17.614 and posting a career high 93 speed index.
The two-year-old gelding earned the first place check, which was worth $130,200. This takes his total bankroll to $176,770, and his race record stands at four wins out of six starts.
The PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity-G2
was not Favorite Honey’s first Graded stakes apperance. The gelding won his July 10 trial to the $305,000 Grade 1 Governor’s Cup Futurity wire-to-wire by 1-length to secure
his place in the finals as the fourth fastest qualifier. In the finals, he ran a solid third behind the winner, Seperate Interest daughter She Goes Up.
The gelding is conditioned by Monty Arrossa, who has trained Favorite Honey in all but his maiden start. Arrossa is building a nice record of 5-4(1)-0-3(1) from his five starts with the gelding.
Favorite Honey is owned by Five Livestock Company LLC and Steve Wright.
