Although not as talented as her four stakes-winning half-siblings, Hug Again was still a solid, consistent allowance filly. Following her retirement to the paddocks, she helped build the reputation of Affection's family for producing fine broodmares, producing three very good racehorses for Calumet Farm. Unfortunately, her daughters did not breed on, but her son Sun Again secured her a permanent place in American pedigrees.
