(by Honor Code), who has 80 foals of racing age to his credit. The juvenile, who debuted at Turf Paradise and finished third Apr. 11, was sent off as the 1-2 choice here. Though the colt started slowly, around the far turn he got into gear. Driving down the lane, Dancing Porky crossed the line by 1 1/4 lengths over Just Trust Me (Bodexpress). The winner's dam is responsible for a yearling by Lexitonian and she was bred to West Coast for this season.
