This thread started with an innocent question about a horse and it went off into weird tangents about shug's ability as a trainer, etc. Just because a horse is well bred, doesn't mean that it will be a champion. We all know it's a crap shoot. McGaughy is a good trainer who takes care of his horses and doesn't push them. If they have ability, they perform. It's futile to speculate whether they would do better with any other trainer because I doubt the Phipps' would ever part with Shug. They breed to race, and they love the horses and the game. They don't do it for the money.

First of all, he's not a Phipps horse.

Secondly, maybe you should at least wait until you have double digit posts before questioning the turn the thread took. People's opinions of Shug are actually very relevent to the topic of the thread.

And, look at it this way, it's about the most popular non-birthday thread this board has seen in months. How can that be a bad thing?

What do you think of Shug and this horse ?

Most threads go on tangents. Focus goes from the horse to the trainer to the figures to the horses the original horse ran against, to their trainers...and so on...

This one has been pretty lively so it's a good thing you started it.

Tangents:
Including redboarding and the exchange of spirits?

I know that imperial council is not a phipps horse. I am the one who said he was owned by sequoia racing. I was just stating my opinion about Mcgaughey and the Phipps' horses. I thought it was an open forum and opinions could be given without petty comments on the amount of posts one has made which is irrelevant.

I like Shug. He's always very nice to me.

I have no particular opinion on this horse. He ran OK as a 2YO and hasn't been seen in about four months. He's a total question mark.

I'd like to know what you thought of his performance today. Have you any idea what kind of Beyer he ran?

[odbaxter]

I thought his performance was awesome. Better than Ikigai and suspect that he could have rolled on the winner Halo from the Richter Scale. I would have to guess he'll be looking better going longer. Just hope he comes out of the race well.

Wasn't all the evidence that you needed the fact that he misspelled his screen name?
