You guys MUST keep us "Non-members" informed with her news. I would love to live viariously through you all who have the fundage to join in on this adventure. (IF you guys don't mind!) I would just like to be informed when she is running, etc... Just so I can send good thoughts her way! I am really excited for you all!

YES!!! This is great!
looks like a great choice by Chuck, I think I remember her dam racing on the weeds at the Spa. Looks like we'll have plenty of spots to run her on grass. Really gotta thank you guys for letting me get involved...can't wait to hear more.

Not quite sure what all the fuss is about. After all, she hasnt shown the ability to run faster than 1:14 for 6 furlongs and she could have been claimed for 15k twice in her short career. At this point, I would think she was well sold. Good luck......

Trainer - Move up
I suspect that our current trainer Chuck Simon
 might be able to move her up from the previous trainer Maria Pinzon (never heard of her).Also, there may or may not be plans to try her on turf at some point this Spring which may or may not also move her up.. PSH

Surely you must know how the horses she ran second to have done since their wins. Tell us about that, please. Perhaps instead of looking for problems, you should stick to your "fantasy" pick-6 plays. good luck to you too.

i never meant to piss in anyone's cornflakes here. i am just calling it like it see it here. I know that Mr. Simon will undoubtedly move to horse up, but im just thinking you could have gotten her for cheaper if someone would have done the research. Too many people do the research at these types of sales and you end up paying a premium price for a horse. I hope she wins a million dollars for the syndicate, but you must be able to at least see my point...

We are not morons, we can read pp's, we can watch replays. Obviously Chuck and Steve see the upside and we chose to put a little bit of money towards this horses potential. She vetted okay and that's a huge step. We trust Chuck and Steve and are looking for some fun for a tiny amount of money. Nobody is going broke here. Everyone is excited and looking at the positives. Your first post is enough to give you dibs on the "I told you so". Enough already.

You're not wrong. She could have likely been acquired for a little less.. But recognize that the objectives of our project here is a little different than that of a "profit driven" racing stable. We wanted a healthy horse with potential upside so that the people involved can get to see it race and feel the excitement of ownership. The last thing Chuck wanted to see happen was that we claim a 5yo gelding that gets hurt a week later and no one gets to see anything as it gets turned out for 8 months. The beauty of Sumwonlovesyou is myriad: 1.) As a sales ring buy, we were able to vet her and confirm soundness. 2.) As a solidly pedigreed filly by a $1,000,000-earning Gr. I winner with a $25,000 stud fee out of a $500,000-earning, multiple stakes winning mare, should she be injured, she has residual value to recoup the purchase price as a broodmare prospect. It's a safety net for the group to move on to another runner. 3.) Considering that her dam was a successful turf router and Sumwon has yet to do either, there is upside that she will move up once she gets to the lawn. (If you watch her races, she looks to me to have turf action.) 4.) She is a lightly raced 3yo that got to the races at 2 and being by Came Home should improve with maturity. There are a few other positives associated with her that I won't elaborate on here, but I personally have a very positive vibe from our roulette peg landing on this gal. I think she's going to be lucky for everybody... From an outside glance, I can understand why people would be perplexed at the excitement over her, but as you spend more time here, you'll get why she feels like Personal Ensign to Derby Trailers...
