Sumwon 'live'

[BillW]

It was great to meet everybody and a real thrill watching SUMWON on her maiden voyage in Dee Tee colors. Thanks Chuck and Steve for all your work and We'll get'em next time! Hope to run into all of you this fall in Saratoga Springs.

Very exciting race to watch. Congrats to everyone that saw it live. Heres hoping she bounces back quickly so I can see her in person in 3 weeks.

Thanks for going!

Just watched the race replays. She is a big lady. Poor girl got tired, those were some fairly tough early fractions. I did not get to see her enter the gate but her start was not bad even though the 8 horse blew by her. I was scared she would come out harder than that. Speed does not seem to be a problem so thats good.

Wavered a bit on the backstretch also, and poor thing has got to be very tired after that stretch. Glad she cooled out well and it was very exciting reading the excitement of everyone else.

Well get um next time by God.

Easy for me to say. I did not run over a mile today. Hope she is not to sore tomorrow. (I think she may have run the furthest distance wise in that race also).

Trakus stats confirmed that, she did run the furthest.

I seriously wish the horse and you guys the best, but might a 50k claimer still be too ambitious? Prove me wrong, but if you guys run her in a 50 k claimer race, and she finishes up the track, take DisappearingdanAKAPlaya's advice, and drop her big...

But as I said, I wish y'all and your horse the best...

They want to run her in a spot where she doesn't get claimed... running her in a 15k claimer most likely would allow that to happen. This filly is sound as a dollar... it would be a shame to have a sound filly like her get claimed. Her next start will be better. She probably needed the race.

Does anyone have pics to post of SWLY from yesterday...padock shots, warmup, at the gate???

excerpt from the race recap from the DRF result chart in case anyone didn't see it

"SUMWONLOVESYOU followed the pace in a striking position for six furlongs and tired"

i'm sure she'll pick up some fitness from the effort that will enhance her next performance.

Actually, at the time they were looking at her, they could have claimed her for 20k, but it's risky to claim... by spending a few grand more, they knew what they were getting. Kinda like the difference between buying a car at an auto auction and taking the chance that the car had been wrecked or by buying it with a dealer guarantee from the dealer.

having a sound horse is great, but usually after running a while a horse that doesnt have some type of issue even a small one probaly isnt running hard enough

Hmmm... I don't agree. What about a horse like Devil His Due? Not running hard enough for you?

Thanks for the advice. No charge right?
