Iron Honor<\/a> will likely point to the Grade 1, $1 million Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 19 at Parx, Brown said after the Preakness runner-up finished a four-length third in the nine-furlong Haskell (G1) on Saturday at Monmouth Park.<\/p>\n“Whatever I do with him going forward, which is likely the Pennsylvania Derby, keep him at that distance, I might put that blinker back on, we’ll see how he trains,” Brown said. “Just trying to figure out how to get him in the winner’s circle in a Grade 1. He’s not far away, but he certainly hasn’t broke through there yet either.”<\/p>\n
The Nyquist bay, who ran without blinkers for the second consecutive time in five career starts, rallied three-wide from fifth over the sloppy and sealed dirt but never threatened winner Baby Vino or Napoleon Solo. Iron Honor races for St. Elias Stable, William Lawrence and Glassman Racing.<\/p>\n
“He was kind of off and on the bridle again, sort of like in the Preakness, I’m not sure if he needs a blinker again or if it was just the track,” Brown said. “I thought he’d like it, it didn’t look like he loved it to me. Halfway through the race I thought he wasn’t running at all, then he came on again. He ran a solid enough race to be third. I was disappointed that he wasn’t able to win the race particularly when Further Ado looked like he wasn’t having his best day. That was the time to win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Sue Kawczynski \/ Eclipse Sportswire Iron Honor will likely point to the Grade 1, $1 million Pennsylvania…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247469,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-247468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
