Honor D Lady cruised to a 5 1/2-length victory in the Grade 2, $500,125 Delaware Handicap on Sunday at Delaware Park.
The 4-year-old daughter of Honor Code gave her jockey Jose Ortiz his fourth victory in the filly-and-mare race, equaling the record set by Angel Cordero Jr., who won in 1968, 1974, 1981 and 1987. Ortiz previously won with Belle Gallantey in 2014 and Elate in 2018 and 2019.

Saddle Up Jessie, with Sheldon Russell, finished second, a half-length in front of the even-money favorite Wet Paint with Flavien Prat.
Abundancia with Julio Hernandez cut early fractions of 24.07 seconds for the quarter-mile and 49:67 for the half-mile before fading to sixth.
The final time was 1:59.86 for the 1 3/16 miles over the fast main track.
“I rode her one time already, and we won,” Ortiz said. “Saffie told me you have the 2 hole, so try to break clean, try to find your way outside, do not give too much to do, and keep close to the pace, but at the end of the day you ride her how you want. That is what I tried to do, and I am glad it worked out. When I hit the three-eighths pole, she kind of moved about two jumps before I wanted, so I had to kind of grab her and take a little momentum away from her, but I was sitting on a lot of horse.”
This was the second win of the year for Honor D Lady from four starts. The Kentucky-bred trained filly won the Royal Delta (G3) on Feb. 17. Her career record is five wins from 13 starts with earnings of $708,167.

Buffalo woman pleads guilty to charges in connection with vandalism at The Terrace at Delaware Park
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo woman has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with vandalism at The Terrace at Delaware Park in October 2025.
The Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced that 40-year-old Stacy M. Matthews pleaded guilty before Buffalo City Court Judge Rebecca Town to one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Erie County District Attorney’s Office
According to the DA, on October 16, 2025, Matthews drove six juveniles under her care to a business on Lincoln Parkway, and the juveniles, between the ages of 10 and 16, intentionally vandalized outdoor furniture and windows, causing approximately $2,000 in damage to the property.
The DA said that as a condition of the plea, Matthews signed a Confession of Judgment to pay $2,000 in restitution to the victim. Matthews faces a maximum of 364 days in jail when she is sentenced on June 9, 2026 and a temporary order of protection, issued on behalf of the property owner, remains in effect.
7 News spoke with Mike Shatzel, co-owner of The Terrace at Delaware Park, where the vandalism occurred, last October.
“It’s just disturbing that people have nothing better to do than come and just destroy things,” Shatzel said in October.
