Chip Honcho, a 3-year-old son of Connect, is preparing for the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes with a recent five-furlong workout at Fair Grounds in 1:01.8 seconds, marking his second timed work since finishing fourth in the Lecomte Stakes (G3). Owned by Leland Ackerley Racing, Chip Honcho has a solid record of 4 starts with 2 wins and 1 second, including victories in the Gun Runner Stakes and a maiden special weight at Churchill Downs.

On the same day, nine other Kentucky Derby 2026 hopefuls also worked, including Universe, Bull by the Horns, So Happy, and Greenwich Village, with workouts ranging from four to five furlongs at various tracks such as Fair Grounds, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita, and Sunland Park. These workouts reflect ongoing preparations for upcoming stakes races, with several horses coming off recent wins or placings in graded or allowance races.
