Kentucky native and Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey won his first ever GI Kentucky Derby in 2013 with Stuart Janney and Phipps Stable's Orb (Malibu Moon) and that trio teams up again Monday to unveil Orb's half-brother SHORE LEAVE (Flatter). The sophomore, whose multi-millionaire sibling also won the GI Florida Derby and GII Fountain of Youth, has been working well in preparation for this debut and gains the services of Jose Ortiz. Tom Albertrani saddles another firster with a talented half-sibling in Godolphin's Hatter (Medaglia d'Oro). The bay is a half-brother to GI Hopeful S. winner and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up Boys at Tosconova (Officer). TJCIS PPs.
