Code of Honor had payout odds of $40 for every $10 bet to win this year's Breeders Cup Classic.

Code of Honor "matches up with any of them" in this year's big race, according to trainer Shug McGaughey.

“He seemed to travel fine,” Hall of Fame trainer McGaughey said Tuesday morning ahead of Saturday's $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic. “It’s a long day for him, but he seemed to come out of it fine. He ate last night and was good this morning.

"We took him up there and galloped him a mile today and let him walk on through the paddock. It all seems to be good.”

Code of Honor has won his last three races, including the Travers Stakes and Jockey Club Gold Cup. He finished 2nd in this year's Kentucky Derby and did not appear in the remaining two Triple Crown races.
