Win the Swale with a 90 improve to a 100 in the Pat Day bomb in the Stephens and off to the lawn to be 6th choice in a field of 10.
I root for Shug, has he had a winner yet at SPA?

You're going way overboard on this & your logic is pathetic.
The guy has a trillion dollars, doesn't care about a $500k purse, but cares about making the horse a stallion? Being a graded stakes winner on both dirt & turf doesn't have any appeal?
He'll be no better than 5th choice in the HOF? And what? He'll be the favorite in the Jerkens?...you're out of your mind.
He ran the race of his life in the Pat Day & got lucky to beat Fort Bragg who had trouble & then turned into a pumpkin at Belmont not only getting thrashed by the newcomers but failing maintain form over modest horses like Gilmore & Gun Pilot.
Were you this vocal when Lure was transferred to the turf off one bad race? How did that work out...Hall of Fame career if I'm not mistaken.
Maybe you should have more faith in your idol...
