has he run a mile, or around two turns yet? maybe some think he should have by now, if he hasn't. i haven't been paying him much attention, so i honestly don't know what he has done as yet.

I just can't picture Shug rolling the dice like Dutrow did and entering Imperial Council in the FL Derby and then the Derby. Who knows though? It's a different world now with Derby preps.

It is a whole new world. I think allowance and then wood or Gotham and wood. Shug is cautious but why even start training him late in December if he's thinking Belmont or Travers? You can't train all spring for the Belmont.
