LOS ANGELES - One Dodger made the fall Classic this year.
Gerry Hunsicker, senior advisor for baseball operations, has a small ownership stake in Honor Code and Liam's Map, horses that run this weekend in the Breeders' Cup, which is thoroughbred racing's championship version of baseball's World Series.
Honor Code will take on Triple Crown winner American Pharaoh in Saturday's $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, America's richest race. Honor Code is a regally bred 4-year-old son from the final crop of legendary sire A.P. Indy, whose father was Seattle Slew and grandfather was Secretariat. With a Silky Sullivan storm-from-behind racing style, Honor Code has won six of 10 starts, plus earnings of $2 million, which is only half the average salary for a Major League ballplayer but considerable coin for a horse.
