Grade 2 winner Fly So High back in training with McGaughey

Fly So High is back at Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey's barn at Belmont Park after getting some extended time off at Niall Brennan Training Center in Ocala, Florida. 

Owned by Phipps Stable, the 4-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon has not raced since winning last year's Davona Dale (G2) at Gulfstream Park, where she was vanned off March 3, 2018, after the race due to a small tear in a suspensory. 

"She's back here. She's training," McGaughey said. "She hasn't breezed yet but she's two-minute licking and when she two-minute licks with the big and flawless stride that she's got, it's almost like breezing so she's coming along."

McGaughey said Fly So High, who is 3-for-4 overall, will likely make her comeback this summer at Saratoga. 

"I'd like to get one in her before then, but we go up there so early now. It's not six weeks away," McGaughey said.

Bred in Kentucky by Mt. Brilliant Broodmares II, Fly So High is out of the Quiet American broodmare Quiet Flight and was purchased by the Phipps for $675,000 from the Keeneland September Yearling Sale in 2016.
