KNS was a fun horse, she always tried hard. I'm glad Chuck got her, I remember she must of gained 50 lbs in two weeks coming into his barn. Hope she gets a good home.

Though today’s announcement was not a complete surprise, I must say I am a bit saddened by the news. KnS has always held a special place with me as she was my first foray into the Dee Tee experience. I remember that soggy, Friday Fall afternoon at Monmouth when the word came Chuck had claimed a horse at Keeneland. I was on cloud nine that whole weekend and could not wait for her first start. Little did I know this quirky daughter of Chester House would take me, my family and friends to 5 of her 8 racing venues. From her 1st start at Tampa to her last start at Philly she gave us her all, which more times than not, was a solid and hard fought performance. 13 board hits out of 28 starts which included that sub zero degree start at Turfway and of course her first win at Arlington. That first win was a thrill of a lifetime and made extra special as I was able to share that whole experience with my dad.
Thanks to Steve, Chuck, TC, Cherie, Susan and the entire Simon Racing staff for taking great care of the “Kickin” one. I know she was a handful at times but I was always comfortable knowing that you had her best interests in mind which ultimately included today’s decision. Finally special thanks to Kickin n Screamin. You raced hard everytime and gave us many, many thrills. Enjoy your well deserved retirement. You have earned it. |

this is the race with the screwed up call I was at home watching it on HRTV and Laffit Pincay Jr said, "they could go around again and KnS ain't letting that one by"
