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.

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!!!!!!

Congrats to all of you folks and to your special girl. She is fun to watch. My wife was even rooting her on and she isn't even much into horse racing. I really hope to see her in Saratoga!! Great Job!

Just a question for those who play Arlington Park on a regular basis - do you not want to be right on the rail? I noticed Sumwon was 3 wide the whole race. (and I mean this as no knock on Willie, he is really good with her!)

We'll get her to love the game yet

I was a little disappointed, but still proud! Runs her race everytime, now if she could only change her leads sooner.

i'll try to remember that. one of my strengths/weaknesses is that i am loyal to a fault. i can take criticism directed towards me, but not so much if it's directed to anyone i have a connection to. i admit it! is there a 12 step program for that??

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.

Emily works for them.

Address it to her......and make it extra special mean.

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!

Welcome back from the grave. I'm not crazy how the TVG Fantasy is set up this time around...

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.

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.
