FRANKEL’S own-brother Noble Mission (Galileo), winner of nine races including the Group 1 QIPCO Champion Stakes, the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, had the distinction last weekend of siring a Grade 1 winner in his first crop of three-year-olds.

Code Of Honor landed his third success of the year, and fourth overall, when annexing the Grade 1 Travers Stakes. He had shown that he was capable of such a success, running second in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby and also in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at two. Code Of Honor is the seventh runner and winner for the Grade 3 winner Reunited (Dixie Union), and that mare’s first stakes winner. Reunited is the best of three stakes winners for her stakes-winning dam Tivli (Mt Livermore).
