It's hard to believe they turned down all those offers for stud deals and kept him in training.

A couple of ex Phipps won jump races this weekend.. It seems that when they cant get a minor stallion deals somewhere they aren't cast into other barns and or claimers.. I see On Fire was sold to Abrams and other then Dancing Forever and Hunting I just dont recall too many in Shug's barn at 6..

Remember Leading the Parade and even the mighty Manipulator are standing somewhere..

Maybe the guy who Pags sold his stock to was broke?

Its interesting that Polytrack (and synthetics) in general have given the Phipps bloodlines at least a modest revival in the last couple of years.

There hasn't been this much reason for the Phipps fanclub to come out of the woodworks for a while now.

Kudos to McGaughey for not being too stubborn to put his horses on the turf/synthetics.

Of course, the alternative would have been claiming races...
