Shug comes off as easy to like as they get.

In one of his TV interviews, he said didn't want to run Orb in the Fountain of Youth, but only ran in that spot because an allowance race for him wouldn't fill "anywhere in the area" ... which that wording sure sounded like he would have even preferred running Orb in an N2X allowance at Tampa rather than the Fountain of Youth. Payson Park is about 3 hours from Tampa.

He also said he would have run him in NY vs older horses, but it never filled.
