Fortunately, those allowance races didn't go, forcing Shug to enter the Fountain of Youth and challenge Violence. Something he said he really didn't want to do, even after winning the Kentucky Derby.
Golden Soul would be the 2013 Kentucky Derby winner had Shug not hand his hand forced with Orb, winning the FoY.
I love Shug and he's an incredibly honest person and certainly a legendary trainer. He has a very interesting A. P. Indy two-year-old who goes in the Champagne.
