THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2019 FASIG-TIPTON RELEASES CODE OF HONOR CONFIRMED FOR BC CLASSIC NOVEMBER CATALOG Dual Grade I winner Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) will make his next start in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita next month, his trainer Shug McGaughey confirmed Wednesday morning. The story was originally reported by the Daily Racing Form. “I always sort of hedged on going out there,” McGaughey told the TDN. “I think he is a different horse than I was talking about before the Travers and his race here the other day [in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup]. The other thing is, he seemed to come out of the Jockey Club Gold Cup really well. I think it is a great opportunity to go out there. These horses are made to run and if he is doing all the right things, we will go out there and run him.” Cont. p3 Midnight Bisou is one of 201 entries IN TDN EUROPE TODAY in the FTKNOV sale | Sarah Andrew GALILEO & GREEN ROOM RULE GOFFS AGAIN A filly by Galileo (Ire) out of Green Room topped the Goffs Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 201 entries for The November Orby Sale at €3 million on Wednesday.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 12 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • OCTOBER 3, 2019 DEMARCHELIER TO STAND AT CLAIBORNE Demarchelier | Janet Garaguso ‘TDN Rising Star’ Demarchelier (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}-- Loveisallyouneed {Ire}, by Sadler’s Wells) will stand at Claiborne in 2020, the farm announced Wednesday. His stud fee will be announced after the Breeders’ Cup. Purchased by Peter Brant for 425,000gns at Tattersalls October, the bay opened his account with an impressive win at Aqueduct Nov. 21 and followed suit with a Keeneland allowance score Apr. 12. Taking his career to the next level with a victory in Belmont’s GIII Pennine Ridge S. June 1, the Chad Brown pupil was pulled up after taking a bad step in the GI Belmont Derby July 6. “Demarchelier had as much talent and turn of foot as any young turf colt I've trained to date,” said Brown. “He is outstanding looking, precocious, and has a great mind. I will certainly be in the marketplace buying his offspring for years to come." “I think a lot of people will be intrigued by his pedigree, but I really can’t wait for people to see him. He’s a very special horse. A real specimen,” added Brant. “He could get a great grass horse certainly, but he also has the influences of great American sires such as Seeking The Gold and Mr. Prospector that could also result in some great dirt horses. Choosing Claiborne as the place to stand Demarchelier was a natural fit. Not only are a lot of my mares there, but they also have a long history of success in making great sires with international appeal. We’ll certainly be breeding a lot of our mares to Demarchelier.” Demarchelier is out of a full sister to Group 1 winners Yesterday (Ire) and Quarter Moon (Ire), who is the dam of Group 1 winner in Diamondsandrubies (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and is the granddam of MGSW & MG1SP Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}).
