I was as huge a fan as anyone, and glad to see Phipps/Shug win the Derby, but what did he actually accomplish that would make him "A wonderful stallion prospect"?
The Florida derby was a very nice race - the Kentucky Derby was a pace meltdown that gave an excuse to talk about Golden Soul for a few moments - hardly a win for the ages.
If he's not right he's not right - glad they aren't bringing him back and doing right by the horse. But I can't envision him as a top prospect based on his body of work.
