Not enough can be said about what a great job Chuck has done and continues to do with this filly. Like many, I definitely thought he'd move her up after the purchase, but the extent to which she improved has been a very pleasant surprise to say the least, and probably has even startled the staunchest optimists.

The positive reverberations of this venture are many and fantastically significant. While this board is already a fairly closely knit community, the journey of Dee Tee Stables and Sumwonlovesyou has brought everyone together in ways other meesage board administrations would never have been clever enough to dream of.

Owners have been able to meet each other at some of the world's most historic racetracks, and non-owners have joined one another in unfeigned rooting and fervent interest in this $15,000 maiden claimer turned dynamite, potentially stakes-bound filly.

As long as I've known Steve, he's been a smart and creative guy who gets genuine joy out of bringing people together and both teaching and learning the ins and outs of this game. Well, with that spirit, some great training, lots of hard work and a little bit of luck, he's embarked on something that is rapidly becoming a truly inspiring, fascinating and remarkable story and has more than fulfilled those goals of Steve's that I just mentioned.

Considering that he sleeps about 37 seconds a night, he doesn't have a ton of time to soak it all in, but watching this from the periphery (and in that I mean without a share in the partnership), I can assure him that this thing has already been an OUTSTANDING success and he should be tremendously proud of what he's done.

so when are you coming to a race so we can meet?? and hooves too, the one who thought this scheme up to begin with?
