Chuck, do you ever try to look ahead and project which horses are likely to end up in a field before entering one of yours? Does the racing secretary keep a list of what horses are eligible for the various conditions or is that purely the job of the trainer to figure out? With this being a two turn distance, do you think we are likely to see about the same field we had last time? 6 or 7 fillies, probably at least 3 of them ones that were in the last race of Sumwon's?

I absolutely love the MTO angle. It's a great way to pick up big checks when all of the the turf specialists scratch out of the race.
I always loved it here when we'd get a 12 horse field, 9 of which had never run on the turf before and had nothing in their breeding to even suggest turf, and the pigs would scratch when the race came off the turf. Gotta love being in 4 horse fields when running for lots of $$$$'s..... Thanks for the update Chuck!!!

Right now, rain predicted Tuesday night and Wednesday ...
I was at Churchill yesterday - empty! I stopped by the barn to see Sumwon, but it was after training hours, everything quiet, so didn't bother her - her butt from a distance outside the shedrow (down, sleeping) looks very shiney

Just looked at the entries on the DRF site for Churchill Downs for the 16th. Sumwon isn't listed for that allowance race. Not even for the AEs or the MTOs. There are 10 horses entered, with 4 Also Elligible and 1 Main Track Only.
I couldn't have made it for that race anyway (although I wouldn't have minded if Chuck got a winner's check).
