you know, that old saying, if you can't say something nice, say nothing.... but for some reason you couldn't limit yourself to just saying 'good luck'.

Zig, and other Partners, et al...

In some cases we've had people say things here, and elsewhere, with only one negative intent. 'Round Pen' though, I can assure everyone, DOES wish us well and has a world of knowledge on which to base his comments. He is involved in racing in a big way and has been responsible for many a good horse...

The spot Sumwon is in makes sense FOR OUR PURPOSES with the Stable, and that's what is difficult for a lot of people to see. I'll remind anyone looking in that there is only one person with an on-going FINANCIAL stake in Sumwon, and that is Chuck Simon. We bought her as a group, BUT NO ONE IS PAYING THE DAILY FREIGHT HERE, except Chuck. He has a plan and rationale for doing what he is with the filly and is keeping the Partners in mind while making the calls so we have maximum opportunity to get together at racetracks and he has the opportunity to offset his expenses.

yeah, i know chuck is the only one at risk here financially...so i'm hoping that sumwon helps him out a bit! i just feel frustrated at times, when some who either don't know, don't understand, or just don't care about the why's of where she's running and come and put in their acidic two cents.

i'd say for most of us, this is the first chance we've ever had to be part of ownership? maybe even the last chance? who knows?
whether true or not id rather NOt read comments like R-P's. wish us good luck and let it at that OR don't say anything at all.

we had to cancel our trip to the race, you guys know HOW BAD it's KILLING me to sit here?.... geeeeez!

Exactly, and in the process we may have stumbled into one of the easiest $50K claimers you will ever see at Churchill Downs so I think people can forgive us for getting excited at the prospect of her actually having a shot at winning a race where we all thought she'd probably be in over her head.

I guess there's two choices: start and work up through conditions, or take a bit of a high shot and drop down until you get into the comfort zone.

The first gets the filly claimed, the second doesn't.

I totally agree. And as Shadow mentioned, we like to think she will be a better horse under the care of Chuck and crew.

Sure hope no one got mad when I mentioned her last effort was a toss. My intent was to be supportive.

What she did at Mountaineer has nothing to do with what she will do under new managment. it's a new day full of promise.

I think Sumwon can earn a check this time. She'll probably be the favorite after the stable puts their money down.
