Can't wait to watch Sumwon run and to place a bet on her. Good Luck to everyone involved in the partnership. Any guesses on the odds Sumwon will go off at?

James Graham, for people that don't know him or his rides, he is a great turf rider

I didn't see my Arlington boys already commenting on him...great decision

In this ALW at KEE? 47-1.

That is until all of Derby Trail bets her down to 2-1.

ummm, did you miss post# six?

JG is a really good turf rider, gets the job done.

Hey Steve and Chuck,

I'd be interested in taking on another share or two in an additional partnership.

My only concern would be targeting a horse for a meet that only runs for 5 weeks - once it's over, what do you do then becasue a NY-bred doesn't do you much good in KY.

yeah I did, didn't read it through because I got excited about Graham, I mentioend Mena to Chuck a while back

Meanwhile, I was just looking at Arlington's condition book and I think their is a perfect race for her on KENTUCKY DERBY DAY. Allowance/optional claiming 3 year old fillies 1 mile on the lawn......not sure if I read it right though

We would likely leave the horse in NY with a friendly trainer or just retire it because maybe they have just done enough.

You read it right

I'll make the trip 4/11 should she draw and am probably in for the NY bred as well.

Oh and Scavs, Major R will make his return Derby Day.

Here or Arlington?

I will be up there Derby Day, I am already working on my old man to get a box for me

I can think of at least 1 NY-bred that did excellent in Ky. :)

Yea Arlington. I'd rather be with Messineo and his hundreds of friends in the park, heck he's got about 30 kids alone lol. Just hope it's a nice day. We tried to get into a hotel in Louisville for Fri-Sat but were obviously too late.

Maybe I'm way off base here but, wouldn't the main reason you take a NY-bred be to be able to take adavantage of those juicy NY-bred restricted race purses?

Most NY-breds aren't worth much outside of NY. Even a mediocre NY-bred can roll up a nice bankroll but it needs to race in those NY-bred races.

Couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic in your reply, Chuck..... I assume you were?

I look forward to the before and after photos

Did she grow some more ? Getting dappled?

hopefully the next photo will be on April 11

actually I was thinking of Funny Cide. Yes, the whole point is to run in NY bred races and get teh enhanced purses.

I agree 100% with you. I believe that we would try to find a good situation with a NY trainer after Saratoga.

Like maybe.. Sciacca! Dee Tee prefers heavyweight guys in this business!

Does the NYBred Partnership mean that Sumwon will definitely not race in NY?
