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?

Honestly I think she runs in the other division of the race and we have a very different outcome. No 22.64 opening quarter and no ground loss cause she would have been on the lead. Not saying she would have won the other division but she sure would have had a heck of a lot better chance.

Of course a horse is going to have small issues...

But to say that a horse that happens to be SOUND isn't running hard enough is a bit far fetched. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of lower level claimers probably have more than just minor issues. To run Sumwon in a 15k claimer would almost guarantee that she'd be claimed. She is a nice horse, John and I think she needed the race yesterday and will come back strong next time around. I think that Chuck knows what he's doing...

Thanks for the advice. No charge right?
