As for finishing the sophomore campaign, a good effort Sunday would likely yield a trip to Philadelphia Park in September.
Boy did it pour... Got caught in that with the kids coming from car. Can't imagine her time is comprable to runners that avoided that downpour.

The balance of the day's weather was awesome.

The pic that I got of SWLY at the 3/4 pole yesterday morning did not come out at all well...

Here is a pic (not of SWLY) that I took before the rain...before the break...the next time Chuck sends her over to the main track I'll try to get one of her from this vantage point..

the horses were the only thing you couldn't make out.

The track looks well travelled
now I know why Chuck waits until after the break.

I thought he just liked to sleep in

Sounds good! She'll get alot out of that, too, hopefully.

It's interesting that surface switches don't seem to bother her much at all.

Let's hope that this week she starts being a pain, and giving her hotwalkers hell - then we'll know she's really ready to go Saturday if the race fills! :)

PS - Thanks for the pic of Saratoga, Dave!

Just got back from Track and visit to see Sumwon. She looks great and is super nice in person. We are hoping to swing back to say hello again in the AM. Will she be jogging tomorrow morning?

Great time at the races over the last two days. Everyone we met was great (especially Steve who could not have been more accomodating).

Can't wait to do it again next weekend!

Did your kids get to meet her? How old are they? Are they having a good time at the track with Dad? :)

Son is 5, daughter 2. They did breakfast at Track on Sat and we went back for about half the card today. They liked the Track, but Sumwon was definitely the highlight for them. They are begging to go back in the morning...

Sounds like a terrific family weekend they'll remember :)

I have an awesome picture of Sum and this part of Saratoga I just saw, gonna mess around and post tonight

Scav 07-29-2007 11:10 PM
Stroke of ARTISTIC ability
 
My mom saw this when I was showing her the pictures from the trip after her friggin camera ran out of batteries again. I consider this picture awesome. Sumwon working with "Saratoga: The Tradition Continues" in the background

Note: STUPID 39.1kb won't let it upload, have to get photobucket, will do now

Scav 07-30-2007 12:09 AM
We are going to see if this works or not

Yeah, I am most likely coming. I took a real beating this trip but the flight right now is only $440. I am going to hope to wait until Thursday to buy the flight and then hopefully make that 440 back when she wins for FUN

BillW 07-30-2007 12:51 AM
I'm not going to make her race - I won't get there till the next Friday. The trip has been planned since last year. I will be able to congratulate her with a few peppermints, though. :cool:

Riot 07-30-2007 12:56 AM
It worked.

AWESOME! :D
