Steve,

I hope you are doing okay!! That was an incredible piece of writing.. very emotional and touching... made me tear up. Thank you for that heartfelt note.

Also thanks to you and Chuck and Thebby for doing the right thing for the horse.

While I wasnt a part owner of this filly... she will always be at the top of my list as a favorite race horse, and horse in general. The summer of 2007 in Saratoga Spring was by far the best for me in the 13 years I have spent my summers there.. Dont think it will ever be as good. Not only was I able to spend lots of time with the beautiful filly, but I made lifetime friendships with tons of great people that I probably would have never met if it wasnt for Sumwonlovesyou.

The retirement news makes me sad, but we should all be so greatfull that she will be able to have a happy retirement and will be loved by so many across the country for the rest of her life!! Just make sure she gets that big butt of hers scratched once and awhile!!!!

you Sumwon!!

Thankfully things were caught early. Although I was not part of the 01 partners, I still felt part of the family (as I'm sure most everyone here did as well). It was a HUGE thrill and honor to meet her in Saratoga in '07 & definitely made my decision easier in being part of the other partnerships.

Hugs, kisses and many peppermints to you gal. We wish you all the luck and happiness in the world !

A peppermint spoiled lass
Who was bred to run fast

Gave so much on the track
It’s time for her to lean back

In two or three years time
A baby will run in royal and lime

We can only hope she has the heart
Of the big girl who gave us our start

Thank you Sumwon

The stallions are on elevated ground sort of like a pitcher's mound.

This is really beautiful. I think Steve and Chuck did an amazing thing for all of you DT'ers.. Wow the joy your gal brought you really comes thru in your elegant poem. I hope she drops a great foal that will fill your hopes and dreams. This mare sure is the luckiest lady in the world..

Aw, that's great, Dell!

I remember seeing the big girl at Turfway, right after Chuck bought her - heck, I remember hanging by the computer with fingers crossed during the auction <g>

Thanks, Sumwon!

This is sad news, hope Sumwon enjoys her next career. Thanks to all who have made this possible, the good news is that we have some two year olds coming to help ease the pain.
