Racing Dudes 2020 Met Mile Wagering Guide and Picks

An eight-horse field with an impressive combined 20 graded stakes victories, led by Grade 1-winning multimillionaires Code of Honor and McKinzie, make up Saturday’s 127th running of the Grade 1, $500,000 Runhappy Met Mile on July 4 at Belmont Park.

Trainer Shug McGaughey said Code of Honor has matured physically and mentally as a 4-year-old.

“He just grew up physically in his body and his mind,” said McGaughey. “He’s gotten more aggressive and he’s caught onto what it’s all about now. He was still figuring things out last year, especially earlier in the year. Everything he’s done this year has been good. He acts like he’s ready to run.”

And ready to run he will have to be as Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert will be seeking redemption in the Met Mile when he sends four-time Grade 1 winner McKinzie to Big Sandy.

“I think any time you win a Grade 1 on the east coast it’s pretty important, especially at Belmont and Saratoga. It’s like hitting a home run in Yankee Stadium, it means something,” Baffert said.

Who will win? Keep reading.
