Thanks for the update
 

Looks like a good solid time. Can't wait for the Blog update.

Looks like she is back to form and hopefully in the winners circle at Arlington on the 11th. Thanks for the quick update

sounds good.

can't wait to run til july 18 at arlington tho????:)

Great news... If she came back fine I'll see you all in Chicago on the 11th.

Just off with Chuck.. She worked great. Came back fine.

Will work again next Wednesday with race scheduled the following Wednesday...

Great News! Glad she seems to be back on track.

Glad to hear she had a good time & back safe and sound !

My visit must have made a difference last week. I did have a long talk with her...and gave her some peppermints!

Spyder

peppermints are Sumwon's medicine:D

The big girl bulleted? Yikes, I don't think Chuck and Cherie even "press" her very hard in her works, just let her roll on and do her thing ...

Of course, I MISSED being there after having to put out fires this morning for other things.

No worries, will be at Arlington if she continues to get back into the swing! Cool :)

She probably just needed to be reassured she's still "all that", and more - good job, Spyder :p

I am going to be deathly sick that Wednesday...DEATHLY...

FYI, the Police are having a big concert at Churchill July 14th (Saturday after the Arlington race). I'd think that has to be disruptive to the horses. Chuck? How was the Stones thing?

Do you need a note from a doctor? :D

He is an animal, so you would be appropriate Doc.

Scavs, if you're gonna be there, you'll have big boy suit up to hang with the real playa S. Byk.

Willie M. on board this morning for the move...

FYI

Website is updated

We'll talk at the track... :)

looks like the gals feelin much betta.....glad to see:)

Sounds like Sumwon had a nice work. She seems to like the surface/surroundings at Churchill. Too bad she couldn't get one more start there, higher purses at CD would've been a plus as well.

Where do I send the get well cards & flowers ? :p

The fact that there was no training for 2 days was the biggest issue. The night of the concert was not a real big deal. Thunder over Louisville is worse.

The best news I heard all day, well...second best

SWLY work
 

A bullet work (1/25) of 5f in 1:00 2/5 under no urging from
chilli Willy. The week off may have made our girl hungry to return to the track. Let's hope she is refreshed and ready to roll !!!

Nice big rain across the midwest - good chance for everyone cool off next couple days, including Sumwon! Dumb question, where would she have been stabled this time last year - would have even been in training??

Most likely was still at a farm being broken and prepared for track/sale..

It is absolutely amazing the transformation that a little TLC and someone that has a clue can do with a horse. Horse have to have heart and she obviously has that but still. She was running 10k claimers at Da Mountain, to a 50k claimer at Churchill, and is a future stakes winner, and hell, PROBABLY a G3 winner if you can catch one of those spots.

And she's mentally a "happier" horse, more relaxed, with a healthier life. The horses deserve that.

Under Chuck's care I believe this filly is just starting to come into her own. If he would have had Sumwon from the start she would most likely have run through her conditions by now. Black type in her future imo.

I wonder how many people took a look at their Form and wondered what the heck was going on. You always hear some bitter person at the track cursing horses like Sumwon who move up with a new trainer when this was obviously very legitimate.

if I were 'capping her last 2 races blindly, I'd still be scratching my head, wondering what the hell did I miss.
it is really nice to view things from this perspective in regards to 'capping horses w/new connections and new directions.
a little more thorough(bred) understanding is always good.

I want nothing more but for her to be successful, but it takes alot to win a graded race and her number power just isn't there yet. If she keeps on improving, sure, she will have a shot, but there is always an end of improvement. The goal then is to just stay consistent, which Chuck will do

Oh, and you can bet that same bitter person is accusing us of cheating. Got to be some drug we're giving her, yada, yada......

I hope none of us ever hear some a$$hole say that after we've won a race. It's a bitter pill to swallow.

Had a horse I claimed for $5k that kept getting beat at that level and we moved him up to win an allowance race 2 or 3 races after we claimed him. All we did was make him happy and feed him. During the allowance win circle photo, what did I hear? "What dope you got him on? You really juiced him up, didn't you?" It's not a good feeling.....

There's not a more cynical group than the horseplayer..You win and you doped him, you lose and you stiffed him

If she can improve her current bsf by 10% she could easily become a stakes placed filly. I don't know about graded stakes, but as she matures and continues to learn, imo this horse hasn't topped out just yet. Her pedigree says a mile and one eighth is doable at four or five years old, and some soft fields could be found.

So true. Now explain how someone with such wisdom and insight could end up a die-hard fan of the ****ing Green Bay Packers?

It's all in the breeding Satan..Plus I wouldn't chirp too much..Your season may be in the "Tank" yet..
See you in the Park today?
