Shug needed an easy spot and a win to push this horse forward. He got the right spot, didnt get the right run, and now he will back off and not press at all. Thats one of the things that make him a great trainer, he does whats right by the horse.

This horse has a lot of raw talent, I think hes a lot like Corinthian was. Hell be a graded stake horse or Ill eat a shoe

Unfortunately this colt is done for a while, which is a real shame. Like him or not, he looked like he might turning the corner and a nice colt.

I hope he comes back sound and healthy.
