Multiple Grade 1 Winning Millionaire

HONOR GLIDE retired to stud duty with earnings of $1,397,187. 

Honor Glide gets Grade 1 winner in first crop

 Joel Cunningham

Wire to Wire Editor

 Grade 1 winner and millionaire Honor Glide celebrated the first stakes winner from his first crop in grand fashion, as Salty’s Glider won the Grade 1 Clasico Fanatico Hipico over the weekend at El Comandante in Puerto Rico. 

Bred in Florida by Lynn Toomey, Salty’s Glider took over turning for home and lengthened to a 2 ¾ length victory at the wire in the seven-furlong event on dirt. 

Honor Glide, who entered stud at Bridlewood Farm in 2003, has two winners from eight starters among his first progeny to hit the race track – and now adds a Grade 1 winner to his credit. 

By Honor Grades, Honor Glide captured the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park as a 3-year-old and the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Invitational at Belmont Park at five. He won four other graded stakes events before retiring with 11 wins from 38 starts and earnings of $1,397,187. 

Honor Glide will stand at Bridlewood in 2007
