This was abolutely a gas and we didn't win. The track photographer said it was the most 2nd place photos they have sold besides the Derby. It was great meeting everyone (plus 20). One thing I will say is if the next time she runs and you're on the fence between coming or not hurdle the fence and GO!

Scavs see ya tomorrow and want a beer if you have any of that pic 6 money left. Lol

Hey 2nd's aint bad. Now years ago we had a gutsy gelding (Not named Funny Cide!)QH that ran 7 2nd's in a row. I finally told the jock, "Look, I dont care if you have to jump off, DONT RUN 2nd!!!!!" lol But those checks sure are nice.

I said it last time, but I think it bears repeating.

I am happy for all in involved. I have no stake in this horse (other than the really nice double I was sitting on had she won yesterday), but what brings me the most pleasure in this whole ordeal is to see this girl paying for herself these past two races. For Chuck to be doing what he is doing, out of the kindness of his own heart, gives faith in the principle that good things happen to good people. You can search far and wide and not find many trainers that would do what he is doing.





Chuck, with that all said, introduce me to your hotwalker....she is smoking

Great job, Steve, Chuck and all the rest of the partners. Like GPK, I'm just on the bandwagon, but this is just so much fun to follow Sumwon and root her (and you guys!) on. Thanks for taking the risk and making this happen. Glad to hear that she came out of the race in good shape and look forward to rooting her on in the next one. Congratulations, guys, and keep up the good work!

I wasn't going to broach this subject... but now that GPK has, my friend in Louisville thinks the same thing. Funny, he's not really a big racing fan but he had no problem coming to the races with me on Friday when I told him Chuck had a horse in the 4th (which scratched).

While Cherie is most definitely easy on the eyes, she is much more than a hot walker. Having been a guest at Chuck's barn on several occasions, it does not take long to figure out she knows horses. She spent two weeks at FG earlier this year in the irons atop Sumwonlovesyou just walking her on the track and letting her stand and watch the other hoerses work. Teaching her during Chuck's "retraining program" that she did'nt have to be in a hurry every time she steps on the track. The partners are lucky that Cherie has taken such a vital interest in SWLY. Thanks Cherie.

Yes,
I think her title is assistant trainer. Cherie has been an integral part of bringing Sumwon along. From what I understand Cherie gallops Sumwon a lot. Sumwon has gone from being a nervous wreck scared of other horses to a horse that wants to chase other horses down. Thanks Cherie/TC/Chuck and everyone else.

I am extremely pleased to have gotten involved in this. Great write-up Steve, and I again must thank and compliment Chuck on the incredible job he has done with her to this point. When I saw what she had ran when we bought her and to think she is now putting up 80 plus Beyers is 1000 times more than I expected in all honesty. She's just a nice horse. Incredible job by Chuck picking her out. (He may know as much about racing as basketball!)

I wasn't able to make it to Louisville to watch Sumwon race this time. (I was really hoping she would run Friday... Had to be in San Francisco on Saturday.) But I got to watch the race at Bay Meadows. Two minutes before post time, the monitor goes blank with the words "Unauthorized Signal" on the bottom of the screen. I'm thinking, " Who do I have to kill to get this signal back?" A whole minute later, the signal came back (and nobody had to be killed).

Everyone who saw the race knows how exciting it was. I think everyone knows how proud we are of "our girl." Super glad to hear she came back from the race in good shape.

Thanks and congratulations to Steve, Chuck, and Cherie, and all the partners and supporters of Dee Tee Stables. Sumwon's growth and development has been phenomenal.
