[satan's twin]

It is unrealistic for anyone other than the partners to absorb the expenses for this girl. To expect Chuck to eat additional expense for shipping one horse for a specific race is nuts. Each owner's expectation of a financial benefit that comes with "ownership" in this horse should be nothing more than the free hat they got if they came to watch the horse's last race. (As if he hasn't done enough already, I'm sure Byk got punched in the pants for the cost of the hats, also!) It would be wonderful if this horse could travel and compete at the next level. Unless she performs ridiculously well in her next race or unless the partners step forward to eat the travel expenses, Sumwon's next Summer Tour '07 performance should be at Churchill, if they write a race that fits for her, or Arlington (where she can be shipped to for free between these tracks.)

As far as shipping wee Willie to ride, FedEx has a "100 lb.weight restriction special" we may be able to get him on for $79.00, providing he stays real quiet in that big carton they have!
