look, she ran great, outran her odds for sure

10 pnt, I respect your opinion and believe you have every right to state it. However, all I am saying is that those of us that are part of this partnership have every right to be excited about this horse. She has improved leaps and bounds since getting into Chuck's hands and there is still room for more improvement. I doubt she increased her Beyer today, but given that she lost training a few weeks ago, was coming off a layoff, and considering the trip she got, she ran a terrific race.

As far as the sarcasm of outrunning her odds, she had no business opening up at 2-5. Regardless, I believe that there is better ahead for her and if she can learn to relax more and change her leads correctly, there is certainly much better in her future.

still plenty of upside in this horse. i'm thrilled. i don't know of anyone who has bought in who isn't thrilled.


thanks (again) to steve, chuck et al. your hard work is much appreciated. thanks most of all to the filly, who is providing thrills a minute!

While it's no guarentee she enters the gate at the spa, I do think it's a guarantee she'll have a bigger entourage than Sheik Rashid did at last year's Travers Stakes.

I hope the other partners loved on her lots for all of us who couldn't be there today. As always Chuck, we appreciate all you do in the continued success of Dee-Tee Stables.

Now if you excuse me, I have a nasty letter to write to United Airlines.

Congrats everyone .... spoke to Byk briefly after the race and it sounds as though she came out of the race fine.

That is good to hear...she sure seems to be a real nice honest hard tryin filly!

Another nice race by Sumwon!!! I was very pleased again to see her gutsy effort and her willingness to keep trying. That's a tough commodity to come by in a horse and it is a very valuable one to have. I love to win races but I also don't mind milking a condition for all it is worth.....

For those who seem to take exception to some comments in this thread - why even bother? There's always going to be someone somewhere who finds fault in something. Given that forums like these are built on second-guessers and negative thinkers, we as owners of a very nice horse should easily be able to accept the criticism. We're getting to walk a few footsteps in the shoes of others who have owned much better horses than we do and yet they get blasted for every move they make. If you are going to be an owner with a highly publicized horse, you've got to have thick skin - and a good calculator while you count your purse money.....

Thanks go out to Chuck and crew for another job well done!!!!!!

I will! Out of curiosity we checked to see how they were doing on the return flight at 9pm and that too is already delayed...flying truly is for the birds!



I loved how happy Sumwon looked when running on the lead before those two longshots ran up to each side of her. She had her ears up and was just rolling along...you can tell she really loves it out there.

Trust me, she deserves it.

Poor Emily nothing!

She's the root of all evil........and was probably the sole reason why Sightseek had problems with her airline today.

well, if it was all her fault, then fire away! maybe you can make the next one sightseek!

i hope to make at least one more of her races this year...but we'll see. we're going to be out of pocket a good bit for hospital bills, etc, and not looking like tony will get back to work til september....we'll see!

I was kind of digging it actually----but, I messed up pretty bad last weekend. I had my little brothers bachelor party and forgot about all about Dream Rush. I just wish they showed the number of moves people have left on the scoreboard.

[trifecta124]

Sumwon ran a great race....Can't wait to witness her first victory for the Dee Tee Stable @ the Spa. Looking forward to making the trip and meeting everyone opening weekend.

Maybe your hosrey will wear number 11 next time.

[Storm Cadet]

To all the connections: SWLY ran her guts out today. You all should be VERY proud! To break out on top like she did and battle again to take the lead was IMPRESSIVE. She showed she's still improving, learning each race. Tough to win on the lead on poly, but she almost did it. The horse that beat her rated in fourth or fifth most of the race and went 3-4 wide to beat her.

Next time guys! Congrats again to all the owners, Steve and trainer for a great job! Hope to see her race at Saratoga soon!

i think this is a fair post......she has definately been a "10 pnt move up" in this barn......I thought she was a horrid underlay at 7/5, and since she lost want I right?

Fair enough, you do deserve credit for that. Certainly you handicapped this race without bias and I respect the opinions of others, hell no one is right in this game all the time, not even close. Understand, though, that those of us that are a part of this venture are a bit biased, as any owner is. I never thought she was a lock today and I was worried about her being a bit short off the layoff. That being said, I still think she was the best horse in the race and the 6 got a dream trip, but I have been around this game long enough (though mostly standardbreds) to know that you can be the best and lose. Still, you look at her last three races and the only conclusion that can be made is that she is a real competitor who wants to win, which will happen sooner or later.

She certainly COULD win sooner or later. But you never know what will happen.
I think it is important to enjoy these exciting money-winning performances, and not spend too much time focusing on the possible pot of gold (the winners' circle) that might not ever come.
