Chuck,
The board was initially discussing why Phipps would not rush Sightseeing into the Derby and that's what I was referring to. Correct, I should have said colts.
About 7 years ago we were having a drink in Saratoga and Shug joined us with his wife. Talk about horses led to a question from my friend Carl about the lack of participation by Shug/Phipps in the TC races. Shug said"I'm not getting any colts with speed, how can I compete"
Incidentally, from memory,most of the Phipps mares go to very good stallions.
