Shug Has a Monster 2YO

Hope you guys caught Imperial Council\'s Maiden score today at Belont (2nd). KY Bred son of Empire Maker out of a Jaramar Run Mare. Shug trained,Sequoia Racing owned. He looks bonafide

[Michael D.]

nice looking colt.

I like Shug\'s runner in the Frizette. 2nd dam Heavenly Prize, who won this race I believe. should get a good pace. odds probably on the low side though. Sky Diva interesting as well. 2nd dam Gather The Clan, dam of Pure Clan.

Michael she does look good but has been late and wide every race. Concern from me would be that she does not want to save ground and be inside.

Personal Ensign and Heavenly Prize won the Frizette.

I went with the 10 here. She may be the speed of the speed.

Chris DeCarlo replaces an injured JR. He is capable

Garcia saved some ground, the 1 was just better. A rather generous $37 exacta there.

$37 was generous if you had it but I did not.

Garcia did save some ground but felt compelled to swing out late as the front runners drifted over. Maybe he thought she wasn\'t giving him everything she had.

Silver,

if you think Garcia\'s ride had anything at all to do with why the horse lost, you are watching through fogged glasses.  The 1 was much much the best.  Period.

The horse ran a 6 first time out, and the trainer is a 2nd time out improvement trainer.  44% wins 2nd time out.  Nice ride by Dominguez saving ground, but he had a ton of horse.

I never said the chalk lost because of his ride. I said the chalk looks like one who needed to be outside to do her best running.

I didn\'t critcize Garcia, I didn\'t criticize the filly. I didn\'t criticize anybody.

I just made a handicapping observation.
