The Prince Consort Stakes is confined to native-bred three-year-old colts and geldings while the Thornbird Stakes is for native-bred three-year-old fillies. Both Graded Stakes races, run over seven furlongs with a purse of $1.75 million, are major prep races on the Road to the Triple Crown.
Trained by Robert Pearson and ridden by Phillip Parchment, Honour Prince was well-positioned on the inside rails, battling with Runaway Star (Raddesh Roman) for supremacy. Despite being bumped twice and squeezed for space, Honour Prince persevered. Runaway Star initially crossed the finishing line first, but after a stewards’ inquiry and a jockey’s objection Runaway Star was disqualified, awarding the win to Honour Prince. The finish time was 1:28.3. Mark My Identity secured third place, ridden by Demar Williams.
