Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that everything is going really well with both fillies. Kicking N Screaming has started to settle down both on and off the race track. We are taking things slow with her, keep in mind what we did with Sumwon when we first got her. She has started to really settle down on the racetrack. I started to use a new piece of equipment called a german martingale. This encourages the horse to put their head down so that they collect themselves and use their whole body when working. When she first came in she jogged with her head in the air, this kept her from developing the much needed muscles in her neck, back, and hind end. This is the same approach we took with Sumwon in the very begining. If a horse has a strong muscular foundation and a sane mind everything else should fall into place, as it did with the other big girl.

Sumwon is still walking tack. She takes her morning stroll around the backside every morning. She is very happy, bouncing around the whole time. She has also caught they eye of a lot of people. They come out and ask who the big Colt is that I am riding, and I correct them and tell them she is a filly and is only 3 years old. All of them are very impressed. Many of them look forward to seeing her, they come out and pet her ask when she will be running or at least on the track so they can watch. So no need to worry she has a fan club here too.

Here is your little update, I hope it answers any questions you have. If not just ask away, either Jackie, Ryan or I (they are the other two girls that work for Chuck) will post a reply as soon as we get a chance.

And GPK Stop flattering yourself....you are no don Juan, Casanova, etc. WE still like you anyway.

1) Why should that matter?

2) If she gets into stakes company she will be a square price

Thanks for the update Cherie - when I was looking at Kns race replays I thought she ran with her head in the air, so good to hear that is being worked on. Knowing that several people have their eye on SWLY is flattering - hopefully no claiming race in her future - I am sure that there are other nice barns out there but no one would take care of her the way you do and she is clearly attached to you.

Thanks to everyone for all you do with our girls

While not really a student of the equine sciences, I have had my moments at the track over the years where I was able to fool a novice race goer or two with an interesting factoid or a lesser known nugget of information. As a little kid, I thought I was impressing the hell out of the adults at the track by being one of the few people there that could identify the gender of the horses. Little did I know that most people had been let in on this 'secret' well before they ever got to a race track. It is surprising then to read today that as Sumwon parades around the grounds at Churchill on her morning jaunts, so many of the people on the backstretch have to be corected and told that the big COLT is, in fact, a big Filly.

Either many of the bleary-eyed backstretch workers were up way too late the previous evening cramming for their college physics exams OR many of the backstretch workers couldn't spell C-A-T if you spotted them the C. (If memory serves correctly, I believe GPK had a similar problem at Saratoga this past summer. Kev was able to inspect exactly half of the animals there 'up close and personal' by walking under them without ever brushing his head against their underbelly. When he attempted to do the same with the male horses he repeatedly got smacked in the face by the dangling apparatuses found under these animals. I didn't know if he kept doing it because he was 'special', because he was from North Carolina and didn't know better or because he just truly enjoyed it.) As if the racing industry doesn't have enough to worry about, consider this. As long as the backstretch workers continue to have problems identifying the sex of the horses they are caring for, headhunters will continue to raid America's racetracks as they prove to be fertile ground for recruiting the future generation of America's carnival workers.

Hey guys! Sumwon and Jazzy both say hello this morning! Jazzy is really becoming one of the barn favorites...she is so sweet and willing, and it's exciting to get to see her changing slowly but surely into a happy racehorse. Cherie is doing a fabulous job with her...you can see a big difference on the track! Whereas before, she was nervous and unwilling to stride out, now she strides out confidently with her neck stretched down the way it's supposed to be. She's gaining muscle and starting to look much better. And Sumwon, as always, looks marvelous and Cherie is right, she is gaining quite a fan club on the backside at Churchill as well!
