If Willie can get Sumwon to transfer over and respond to him, in a race situation, as well as she's been responding in the more relaxed morning to Cherie regarding the lead change into the stretch, this peanut gallery occupant thinks she picks up one or, more likely, two lengths. Chuck?

We had a downpour last night, but assume the track stayed good and the work happened this morning?

Can't wait to watch the replays of today's races, and read the TG's, with Sumwon in mind. This is a fun part of this partnership, learning how and why trainers spot horses.

You know, I was watching Sumwon's old races last night at work (what a difference!), and re-reading the early postings regarding when the partnership was proposed, the filly first purchased, and the journey to date with this filly ... quite the exciting ride you boys have given us!

In hindsight (with hindsight being 20/20), if you had entered Sumwon in today's turf race as MTO, would you have also scratched her due to the muddy track? If you had decided to run her, how do you think she would have done against the remaining 5 entrants?

(I know this is all hypothetical. I'm just curious.)

i would think that's the point of entering MTO--they don't come off unless the turf is too wet, so that would mean a muddy main track.

In California, they will sometimes take a race off the turf, but the main track has been sealed and is listed as 'wet fast'. If the rains continues, it becomes 'muddy'.

Churchill's main track is listed as 'muddy'. I was interested to see what Chuck would have done with Sumwon.
