You've got that right.

I'm glad Storm Flag is back (maybe??). Heck I'm glad Shug is back, it seems like he disappeared. Also the dam of My Flag wasn't too bad either--Personal Ensign. I was at the 1/16th pole Third Floor Clubhouse at CD Breeders Cup Day when she went by me with her neck and back leveled off and her ears pinned back--taking dead aim on the Ky Derby winner. Yes, that's right the Derby winner Winning Colors. Seems like yesterday not 16 years ago.


A little side story. The Phipps were looking to part ways with Angel Penna who was their personal trainer and the people at Claiborne Farm told them they had some UNBELIEVABLE BABY STOCK prancing around the grounds at Claiborne. They recommended Shug to them and the partnership began, he moved to NY and before the wise New Yorkers caught on we could still GET A PRICE.

Personal Flag was the 3 year old we were told to look for and that fall Shug unleashed Personal Ensign and Polish Navy as two year olds. The next year came Seeking the Gold and Easy Goer the year after that. How much would that crew cost you at the Keeneland July Select Sale???

I think the people at Claiborne new what they were talking about.
