sumwon was 3 wide early, 5 wide around the far turn. she got tired. i spoke briefly to chuck before and after the race. she saddled fine, seemed fine all the way up to the race. it's her first start in over 4 months, and he said maybe he had her a little short. but that race will only help-said she seemed to cool out ok, he's going to have her scoped just to make sure, but thinks she's just tired.
it was a lot of fun--i watched at work, maybe another time i'll be lucky enough to be there live.

Edgar just won with a nice one in the 6th... a Giant's Causeway filly named Carriage Trail.

Danzig, saw it pretty much the same way. Looked like she was a little headstrong into the first turn, wanted the lead while the instructions were to try to settle her. This led to her getting caught out wide which is where she was for the rest of the race. Looked like she did move a little in the stretch, but when a horse came in front of her and she had to move, she packed it in. I want to thank Chuck and Steve for the experience, it was fun to watch the race and hopefully there are better days in the future and this race helps for the future.

On ATRAB Steve said she came back fine and scoped clean. Steve also
said she was short for the race and will see improvement next time. She drank a whole bucket of water. The main thing she came out the race in good order.

I just watched the replay on Calracing, and it looked to me like she didn't change leads coming down the lane. She was in the camera for a few strides as they straightened out for home and I don't think she had switched yet at that point. She might have switched later but it is hard to tell on the head-on with horses in front of her.
If I had to guess, I'd say Graham gave her a couple of left-handed whacks near the end to try to get her to switch. I'd also guess that her swerve at the top of the lane was him yanking on her trying to get her to change. He kind of did the same thing as they came out of the first turn to go down the backstretch. He looked back, she swerved and then she switched. Then again, I could be full of it...... I liked the effort, and I hope she comes home ok. There will be more races to run as long as she stays sound. Thanks again to Chuck and Steve for putting this together for us!!!!!

Great thanks again to Chuck and Steve. Really a big thrill that I hope to repeat and exceed many times with this fine group.
Glad it sounds like she came back sound and we will regroup for next time. Certainly a bit of a tough trip as well as significant class/dist/surface test. Let's go smoke some $30K claimers next time! Look forward to the continued updates and learning. Pat
