Default Potential Start: April 11-Keeneland

With the KEE Condition Book available and Chuck pulling out of NoLa in 2 weeks, there appears to be an allowance on the grass for Sumwonlovesyou April 11. The 9th race on 4/11 ("The Pure Prize") is 8.5f on the turf for $54k (NW1X-NW2L).

We'll see what Chuck has to say, but when we spoke the other day he was game for giving our girl an ALW shot even though the spot is aggressive.. The reports continue to be great from Fair Grounds on Sumwon's demeanor, fitness and progress.

Thx Bill! She'll be easy to spot. She's the horse with 94 people around her in any paddock...

Great news! Interesting name for an allowance event on the turf for fillies; "The Pure Prize"
a Phipps/McGaughey runner (a offspring from my all time favorite filly Personal Ensign ...that is next to Sumwon),
he was a colt and I can't remember if he ever ran on grass. Anyways...
I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!

Sounds great. I'm getting excited just thinking about this.

Chuck was originally thinking a 35-40k claiming race and now he is entertaining the idea of an allowance race. I wonder if this has anything to do with Sumwon's progress or just trying to get a race into her?

Default HOTEL AT KEE for somewon's race ????



I was hoping to fly somewhere relatively close to stay the day before and after the race. Suggestions folks???

The earlier the better with reservations.....

Is KEE a track that would require tickets in advance because the track is so well respected and the meets so short ???

This facility was on my list of "ballparks" to visit for historical reasons and next to CD I can't think of an east coast track with a better reputation for fans from the perspective of innovative yet historically rich. Am I dreaming or is this true?

the airport is literally across the street fom the track...but will be more expensive than flying into cinci or L-ville...

tickets can still be had for that day here:
https://secure.keeneland.com/tickets...nd_process.asp

any hotel with an available room is the closest

oh, and everything you have heard is true...my favorite track.

It looks like Sumwon would get 8 lbs allowance. There's also a race with the same conditions on Apr. 26. I wonder if Chuck would plan on running her back in that one if she doesn't win this one?

J,

I'll look back at the condirions, but I don't think she gets the weight break because of her claim start prices..

This is SO exciting .... what are we going to do during the day, are we going to try and hook up as a group, see if we can get a couple of empty boxes, or try to reserve dining room space? Where shall we go for dinner?

Hey! Danzig was meeting up with Chuck Monday morning to see Sumwon ... any report from NO yet?
