Just an incredible race to watch. It's amazing how my heart jumps out of my chest during the stretch runs of these races, not owning any of her, just pulling so hard for you guys to get into the winner's circle one of these times.
It really has been so much fun to watch her progress and to see how everyone (more or less!) comes together on the forum over her, owner or not. Congrats to all the owners!

I felt bad after the race because I wanted the crew to get in the winner's circle. There really isn't a better feeling than getting your picture taken, and dag nabbit, sumwon deserved to have hers taken yesterday.
Oh well. It's coming sooner rather than later. She's a fighter and has the heart of a champion.

What was great is that these Ragozin guys that my dad and I were sitting in front of were saying "NO WAY this horse hits the board, 7 pt top, stupid money" I turn around and smile at them. Half of the gold room was all over her including friends of Dellinger (owners of Taylor) who my dad and I sit next to all the time now. It was awesome Last edited by Scav : 05-27-2007 at 12:34 PM.

Very nice summary, Steve. You're a good writer.
Congrats to the Simon racing team and to all the partners. This story gets better and better. Please, please get to Saratoga (or points in the mid-atlantic), so that I can start making it to the races. I need to make my appearance so that I can be assured that a big star will want my role in the movie script I see on the horizon. I've been told I look a little like Nicolas Cage, if it's not too early for a plug.

It is definitely an awesome story. Maybe with Steve's talent he could write a book about it after she gets a graded win or two!!! The bottom line is that Chuck and Cherie and the rest of the crew have improved this filly at least 20 lengths thus far. How much more, who knows. It was great to meet some of the partners who made the race for the first time. Also had a ball with the usual suspects. Steve and Chuck made a nice find on this filly. Can't wait till we meet again.

Not enough can be said about what a great job Chuck has done and continues to do with this filly. Like many, I definitely thought he'd move her up after the purchase, but the extent to which she improved has been a very pleasant surprise to say the least, and probably has even startled the staunchest optimists. The positive reverberations of this venture are many and fantastically significant. While this board is already a fairly closely knit community, the journey of Dee Tee Stables and Sumwonlovesyou has brought everyone together in ways other meesage board administrations would never have been clever enough to dream of. Owners have been able to meet each other at some of the world's most historic racetracks, and non-owners have joined one another in unfeigned rooting and fervent interest in this $15,000 maiden claimer turned dynamite, potentially stakes-bound filly. As long as I've known Steve, he's been a smart and creative guy who gets genuine joy out of bringing people together and both teaching and learning the ins and outs of this game. Well, with that spirit, some great training, lots of hard work and a little bit of luck, he's embarked on something that is rapidly becoming a truly inspiring, fascinating and remarkable story and has more than fulfilled those goals of Steve's that I just mentioned. Considering that he sleeps about 37 seconds a night, he doesn't have a ton of time to soak it all in, but watching this from the periphery (and in that I mean without a share in the partnership), I can assure him that this thing has already been an OUTSTANDING success and he should be tremendously proud of what he's done.
