the phippses have had tremendous success down over the years. yeah, they miss more than they hit ( don't most?) but they've had some really, really nice horses-pine island alone was better than most see in a lifetime. but keep in mind, they are a very private stable, who breed within-when's the last time you saw them make a big, splashy purchase? or sell for that matter. i think most breeders would sell their soul to get ahold of the phipps' broodmare band.
and didn't shug have one of the top picks in the distaff just a few months back?
