Shug has an awesome homebred in todays 7th race at gulf. Peter Island is by tapit out of a grade 1 stakes placed mare by Pleasant Colony. Resort is by pleasant colony which u rarely see anymore(almost extinct) also resort is out of an Alydar mare does it get any better for old school breeding. pleasant colonys broodmare offspring known for huge necks. I cant wait to see this ones neck in the paddock and post parade today. also Peter Island worked 1:02 and change out of the gate at payson(quicksand)

buckpasser · Tom. As I said on another thread, he ran very well today. Made a huge move and was closing on the winner. He is the real deal. I said he would be better than POE and I definitely think he is. · 4222 days ago
tmallios1 · If he continues to develop ,he will be special. I would like to see Shug pull back the reins a little on him . Between his 2 turf races and his 1 dirt race at GP, i hink his legs have endured as much as they can over these extremely hard surfaces. I know Keeneland is dear to Shugs heart.I would like to see Shug and the Phipps step out of the box and take a shot at The Bluegrass. Do not even enteryain the thought of running in the Derby should they win. The race falls in perfectly with the scheduling The next Turf Race for 3yos is The Tansylvania on 4/4/14 and at a Mile. I hate cutting them back in distance and bringing them back so soon. The Bluegrass almost gives them a free ride and it spaces hom perfectly. After that ,Shug can map out a plan that will get him to The Virginia Derby. But i think this guy needs about 6 weeks to recharge for the summer grind. · 4222 days ago

In case you haven't seen these, NYRA has posted great video interviews of some of NY's top trainers. More tracks should do this! Here's link to Shug's video - http://www.nyra.com/ontherecord/mcgaughey.html
