SUMWON: 77 Beyer on Sunday

[TheSpyder]

I had the pleasure to met Chuck on Oaks Day along with his father. A couple of really nice guys and can see why the Steve/Chuck combination works. First, he's a really down to earth guy who obviously knows his stuff.

Second, I asked about Sumwon and his plans. Although things could change my feeling is he wishes he could have had the horse from the start and would not have raced her so early. He feels there's alot of potential under the hood and that being only three she's got a wonderful future. He feels she'll develop further with age and still has head issues to overcome. Having said that he feels she could do really well and move forward as time goes on. Perhaps she's not a horse that likes to rate and should be on the lead. If she's placed right with the right training I think he sees her moving up in class and getting some wins at a higher level which in turn could significantly improve her broodmare value.

If we take the position that Chuck knows what he's doing, let's just sit back and enjoy the ride. Got a feeling it's going to be good.

Thanks Chuck...for everything.

i took that position from the start. he's the trainer, everyone who went in to this knew that chuck made all the calls, esp since chuck is the one paying all the bills at this point!
every time i think about her i get excited all over again. she has a lot of potential, and has shown some talent. i watched her race again last night! lol

can't wait for the next one.

I did to. I was really very happy about that race and I must say a bit shocked. I really thought she had toasted herself. And I will say it again, she did not quit, that means so much to me. And she has speed (which I am fond of)

can you burn that to DVD? IF so we'd like a copy, please?. my wife tried to do it from the CD site but couldn't get it to work.

i don't have a dvd recorder, it's just a player. time for an upgrade!

same quandry here - have both of Sumwon's starts on Dish DVR but don't have a "DVD recorder/burner" and my ancient VCR isn't even working to transfer to tape... fingers are crossed the Dish hard drive doesn't crash and lose them (it's happened before, wiped out all my movies) before can figure out how to save them.. do have a laptop that supposedly has the ability to burn CD/DVDs - is it possible to burn off the DVR box directly to the laptop

how about the track itself - have heard some furnish courtesy copies of DVDs to owners of their horse's race - anyone we can ask???
