Sumwon Much Better: 7/11-AP target
 

Sumwon seems close to 100% herself according to Chuck this a.m., and will return to the track tomorrow...

Has lost too much training time to make the 7/1 race at CD, so the 7/11 ALW (8.5f-Poly) at Arlington becomes possible as the most appropriate target...

Thanks for the update Steve.

Indeed.

Glad to hear. If she runs on the 11th at AP that would be great. Much easier drive from WI to AP than Churchill. Always can use a Wednesday off of work as well. Thanks for the update and the great show yesterday. I tried to call in later in the day, but never got thru. Thanks again

Sean

Awesome!!!!!

Says the guy whose back yard is practically there! :D

Never been there. LOL

So you've only been on the 2nd floor, left side of the bar? :D

OK you got me. Although 80% of this year has been out in 'party in the park'. Will be my first wednesday in a long time though.

I hope Arlington Park treats all you boys right and has a "Paddock Hostess" there for you! :eek:

Terrific! Hope she picks up where she left off, training wise.

Would love to go home to Arlington, and meet ArlJim, Dell, etc ...

well there's always Lauren Massarella.....

Just to give me a gauge on "Lauren", do you think she is hot or does John (I think that was his name?) because you two have very different tastes! ;)

I think she's one of the few we agree on....

and for those who haven't seen her go to arlingtonpark.com and visit the gift shop. She's in the tan t-shirt and on the gift shop click.

:D

Part of the fun of going to different tracks, for me at least, is watching how much people differ from track to track.

Thanks for update. Glad to hear she is feeling better.

Had a quick question about Saratoga. Anyone know in general what type of 3YO Filly Dirt Allowance races they generally card at Saratoga and with what frequency? Just curious what kind of spots there have been in past years for a horse like Sumwon.

Thanks

Which race is this? I checked the Arlington condition book and only saw an allowance race for 1 mile (there is a claiming race at 8.5f).:confused:

dammit


i'll be there the 18th.

glad to hear she's doing better!

I believe it is the 7th race on 7/11, which in itself is kind of amusing.

I also noticed a race on 7/5, same distance, same condition, but limited to 3 year olds.

I hope she does well next time she runs.

does willie go to arlington to ride OR use a jockey already at arlington??
what is the purse?

Believe it's a $30,000 satch... Martinez up in the air. (Let's get her close first...)

Wow, I Feel Like A Pinball Bouncing Around From Jersey To Kentucky To Arlington.

Just waiting for Saratoga to open up
or was it Delmar :p

Damn! I was hoping you guys would bring her here, but I'll be out of town that week and won't be able to see her.
Oh well. I'm glad to hear she is feeling better, and for those of you who will be going to Arlington for the first time.........you'll love it. It is a first-class facility.

is she gonna train on the poly b/f the race steve ?

Amazing. Guess who will be taking off of work to come down!

P2P,

No.. She showed she's OK with it at Turfway..

Iowa Oaks
 

Le Chateau and Humble Janet, first and third respectively in SWLY's last race are both entered. How do you think we would have matched up against this field?

Not sure I would want to see her against the likes of High Again and her
+200K earnings....

what is crazy is they only have 3 confirmed starters for the Mother Goose!

the Goose is ours

I mean come on she can beat at least 1 of the 3

Belmont is notorious for 6 horse fields with at least 1 scratch

I know Lady Joanne and Octave are in who's the third?

Boca Grande

Mother Goose

CLOSED SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 2007 WITH 19 NOMINATIONS


tough big name fillies

but for some reason I was thinking Sumwon could handle the 1 turn 9f Belmont

Very curious to see how Le Chateau does in there.

Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting that would be a field for her just that it's amazing that a G1 at Belmont Park only draws this many and everyone else chooses to go elsewhere. Who's afraid of Octave? :eek: I can certainly see the point that one can really luck into graded wins!

Here are the nominations with PP's... which included Sumwon...

In the long run, I think you will see that it is good not to run Sum over that Prairie Meadows racetrack. 1) I can't figure that track out for nothing and 2) it seems that horses just aren't the same after they run over it, alot of arlington people ship over for it and when they ship back, they were good bet againsts (back when it was dirt, not sure with it being poly if that will hold)
