Thanks for the updates.
I know this is a business, and Chuck is looking for the best place to run Sumwon...
But I find myself hoping she doesn't run in a claiming race, because I don't want her to get claimed. How are all the partners in Dee Tee Stables going to feel if Sumwon gets claimed in her first race for us?
I know that this is my first opportunity to own even the smallest part of a horse, and that may be the problem. I'm already emotionally attached. I loved Sumwon's pedigree, and I thought her past performance running lines showed a lot of heart. I really think Sumwon found the ideal situation with Chuck and Dee Tee Stable. I was looking forward to a number of races this year, possibly even at Saratoga, which would give me another very good excuse to go there for the first time. I was looking forward to our selling her as a broodmare, and then watching her babies run.
I guess the risk and reality of her getting claimed is another part of the education about horse racing. But we may have to start a support group if Sumwon gets claimed.
