Sumwon 'live'

[my miss storm cat]

I'm so sorry that i missed the race but reading this thread..... i could feel the wonderful excitement.

Next time.....

She came home safe and next time she'll do it.

Congrats to all of you on your beautiful girl and her first start for you. That she was last will make the story even better years from now when you all look back.....

Next time. Have faith.

I thought she looked great on the track, a really nice looking filly. I'm sorry she didn't place for you guys, but Chuck will find her level of competition and I'm sure she'll be a nice horse for you all. It was so exciting watching her run, I can't wait for her next race!

Those horses were too much for her today. She was short and chasing some faaaaast fractions.

I wonder how she is going to feel tomorrow. That's when she will be sore.

man.. people at the Days Inn are loud and obnoxious. I didn't sleep at all last night

Thanks to everybody for a wonderful day, it was a dream come through for me!
Steve, Chuck, all the Dee Tee partners and all 1,174 members of Derby Trail .com , you all are great people!

Unlike some on "other" so-called racing sites...
outcasts with no home!

Back from dinner with Chuck and Paula (wife).. What a long, fun day..!

Hope all enjoyed this first experience as the Dee Tee Partners, and everyone here really, participated in what I believe was a tremendous accomplishment. In her first start in ALW company; her first start on grass; and first start in 90 days, Sumwon was as over-her-head as thought, and perhaps short for the 8.5 journey.. No matter. Even with a last place effort, the pleasure in bringing together so many people who had never before been involved in horse ownership was overwhelming.

The objective of the Dee Tee Stable was to promote horse ownership and racetrack comraderie, and today was an undeniable success. At least 16 partners were in attendence at Keeneland, and I think they had a great time. And I can see that everyone that followed the day here, whether in DT or not, were equally excited. The kind words from everyone here is greatly appreciated, and I'm sure I speak for Chuck when I say that it's been our pleasure getting this undertaking off the ground. It's really those that inspired the concept and got involved that made it happen. And this was only the next step in the process.

Sumwon exited the race tired, indicating she needed more work yet, but scoped clean and snapped back well after cooling out. This race will do a lot for her fitness, and as mentioned earlier in the thread, will likely run back on Sunday, April 29, Opening Day at Churchill. in a 1 mile (dirt) $50,000 claimer.

More from Chuck later I'm sure.. and from me as well. Back in Florida tomorrow and will catch up soon as I can.

Thanks to all Derby Trailers for making this a wonderful day...

Cutback, surface switch , class drop should do wonders for her .

Steve and Chuck you did something special for a lot of people
on this board. The dream of owning a part of a racehorse has become
a reality for all DeeTee stable partners. The owning and watching a
horse you own run is one of the greatest highs in the world. Even
though she finished up last, she came back healthy and sound and
to fight another day thats the main thing.

I'm sorry that she didn't run better and I believe that she was probably just short of fitness today. That is not saying that she was going to make up 15 or so lengths but we may have got her too relaxed in her training and simply have not done enough with her. She seemed very tired afterwards but everything else looks good. The next few days will tell alot about where and when we run her back. If she bounces back ok then we will take a long look at the opening day race at CD. If she takes a little longer to recover we may need to find a different spot. Obviously we were hoping for a little more but we weren't undefeated going in and we did have a good time meeting all the partners which was really what this is about.
