Honour Prince, after enduring a lengthy spell of recuperation, has finally justified the patience, care, and confidence invested in him by connections.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the bay colt reasserted his potential with a 2½-length victory in a Restricted Stakes contest for three- and four-year-old non-four for locally bred horses and non-three for foreigners.

The triumph over 5½ furlongs (1,100m) was more than a win — it was a statement that his talent, once restricted by injury, is on the rebound. Now four, Honour Prince is by Bern Identity out of Awesome Lucy. That pedigree had him on course for the 2025 three-year-old Classics until injury halted his march after he won the seven-furlong (1,400m) Prince Consort Stakes on April 12, 2025.

The setback forced a long absence. His return to racing on March 28, 2026 was a promising reintroduction. In that six-furlong (1,200m) contest he finished second, 2½ lengths behind foreigner The Teacha, closing strongly inside the final furlongs (200m). That effort, though not victorious, proved the perfect stepping stone.

Just a month later, guided by Tevin Foster, Honour Prince elevated his career record to four wins from seven starts, with earnings over $3 million. Foster allowed him to settle off the early pace set first by The Levitus under Demar Williams, before foreigner Fred The Master with Robert Halledeen took over.

Fred The Master carried the field into the straight for the final two furlongs, but Honour Prince, racing wide on the outside, found his rhythm and unleashed a decisive surge. He powered past Fred The Master with authority, while Fidelity claimed third.

The clock confirmed a winning time of 1:07.2, with fractions of 24.0 and 48.3. This fourth success not only underscored Honour Prince’s resilience and class but also elevated him into Overnight Allowance.
