Sumwonlovesyou retired..

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

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!

sad news
i enjoyed following sumwon and her dt family
good luck sumwon and peppermint kisses

she's done enough.

[pointman]

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.

Watched the CD race that Luke K called with Calvin aboard again last night. SWLY showed both of these likely two future hall of fame inductees what it meant to have the heart of a champion that day, and how quickly the flame can be extinguished. The voice, the jock and our girl crossed paths for just minutes that day but I'll remember it for the rest of my life...
