Anybody back on subject? When RA turned for home I thought she was home free. I guess the 1 1/4 got her today.

If we're still talking about racing -- wasn't this Shug/Phipps's first Grade 1 win in several years?

Not sure, but Pine Island might have been the last one..

Sorry to see RA lose, but if she had to.. It was great to see a grand daughter of Heavenly Prize win..

I think Heavenly Prize had a daughter run at Monmouth today. Shug actually ran two babies going 5.5 furlongs at Monmouth today.

Hilarious to see that P was sired by a sprinter which apparently hasn't produced any other classic distance winners.

I remember a time when McGaughey/Phipps were a good bet first time out...

In breeding parlance, the dam side (bottom) produces stamina. Persistently's first dam sires' are Deputy Minister, Seeking the Gold, Nijinsky, Riva Ridge. Looks like Smoke Glacken ...the sire...donated a nice turn of foot.

then you're another who sounds clueless when discussing rachel and her campaign last year. it was a true rarity. i get you prefer zenyatta, but rachel had a fabulous year last year. sorry. you're letting personal preference and bias cloud your judgement. any other year, zenyatta wins hoy. but last year wasn't any other year.

pine island still smarts. love to see a phipps homebred do well, i always root for them and any with a claiborne connections as well. i'm still kicking myself for not putting a couple down on persistently. shug and denny had to be over the moon about winning the personal ensign with her today. hated to see rachel lose, but it was a good win for them.

One of the first things I learned on this site was "Shug-Phipps is $$$ in big races". I guess this was big enough

Thank you to Danzig for being a rare voice of reason and "horse sense"

Seriously guys? Seriously? Take it to Esoteric if you want to act like kindergartners

She'd win by maybe a half-length.

She could run in a 4 claimer at Ellis and give the fans a heart attack.

Nah, the entertainment part is the paddock prancing. She is all business when it is time to face the likes of Anaabaa's Creation.
