Stopped by to see SWLY yesterday. My whole family got to meet her and had a really nice time. Apparently, we did not bring enough peppermints (I thought 8 was enough), but she was very friendly other than the begging part. Her next door neighbor (Top Royelle) was quite rambunctious, but Sumwon was a very well behaved girl. I have heard that she is in great shape and spirits.
According to Chuck, the chances of the 7f Starter Allowance race on August 26th being drawn in are quite good. I wasn't so sure about a substitute race being used as the originally scheduled races have all been filling at Saratoga, but he said that a lot of trainers pull out a bit early or try to race their horses the week up to Travers Day, so the races after Travers Day fill out a little bit lighter. According to Steve, Sumwon is "out of control" and ready to race.
Thanks to Chuck and Steve once again.
