If Chuck brings her back at 50K and she gets claimed away, what's the big deal about that? Yeah, she's special because she's the FIRST DeeTee, but if she gets claimed away, you've got a $25k profit to work with and that's some money to build off of.

She clearly "belongs" at this level. Hopefully she'll find the winner's circle next time after this tremendous effort.

yeah, my head tells me the same thing....BUT! here's hoping we get to keep her for the year. in the money on dirt and poly, would love to see her on turf again. but i have complete faith in chuck to put her where she needs to be.

From a business perspective you are right, but I think the owners would prefer not to risk losing her for sentimental reasons. I'm not one of the owners so I don't know.....but I think their first priority might be not "losing her."
I can't blame them for that.

would be a hell of an ROI...

Chuck, I want to thank you for an excellent job today. Sumwon looked great and was game right to the end. Congratulations to all the other partners, this looks like it is going to be a lot of fun! Steve, great job also, you guys obviously have an eye for a good buy, she proved today she is worth double her purchase price. Let's get the NY Bred rolling!!!

I don't have a problem losing her at $50K. The question is though do we drop her in for $30K next to get a win and take that risk? Personally I hope we try her at $50K again unless a perfect allowance comes up but I'm cool with whatever Chuck wants to do next.

[miraja2]

Chuck and Steve obviously get a lot of credit for what they have done....and they deserve it. But I also want to thank all of you guys that invested in this filly. I wish I could have joined you!
I have been a longtime fan of this sport, but I never really knew anything about the owning/business end of the sport until I came on DT. This has been fun for me as a fan to get some inside scoop into what goes on when a horse is purchased and sent to the races with new connections. Your decision to buy this filly has allowed me to live vicariously through you guys as you have progressed with her, and it has been a lot of fun.
I think she will have continued success, but whatever happens from here on out, you guys just finished second in a race at the most famous racetrack in the country! That is just plain cool, and I think everyone on this site appreciates YOU, for giving us such a nice filly to root for.

Not my call, but I'd say no. She was way too sharp today at $50,000, she's got HUGE shot of winning at that level after today's effort. Plus, she could easily get claimed for $30,000, but you'll probably get to keep her if she's up for $50k.

She's only going to get better.

You don't drop this horse ONE BIT. there would be 100 claims in for her at 30k or even 40k. She ran lights out today and if Martinez could have milked that 2nd quarter a little more (46/3 was way too quick, 23 internal) she wins this race, she had PLENTY in the tank and was coming back at the 2. Honestly, my guess is she might be claimed if you run her back for 50k by a guy like Amoss. This had to be her best sheet number and there will be plenty of races for her at Arlington/Churchill coming up. Plenty of Allowance opt claiming at either. Plus I think Churchill has the free shuttle up to here to Arlington, which the competition is alot lighter, either way, she ran awesome today

All around to DT STABLES!

[whorstman]

I was out there today and saw the race. Wow! I was super impressed with the game effort. Great job of the connections getting the right spot. She hung tough. Really a knockout looking filly. Got to see her post race up close. I was really excited for you guys. The 9.80 place money I got was very nice. Congrats to all involved!!

Thanks to everyone involved!!!

I am proud to be a member of Derby Trail, Dee Tee Stables and the chance to share the excitement with all of you!!!!

"Sumwon" running 2nd today...was like winning the Derby to me!

[pmacdaddy]

I like the thought of an optional claiming start. Really hope we keep her for a big start at the Spa...

Feelin like we are in good hands with Chuck at the helm...

i agree, i see no reason to drop down.
i know it's way too much to hope for, but i'll be in chicago in july--but the odds of her and i both being there the same week?! well.....

if there's any way possible, i'll be there for her next. kicking myself for not going up.

Yeah, some more options if we want to step up and take on elders. Looks to be as good an option as any. Still one condition higher than she's at though which is going to make it a very tough spot.

Here's a couple possibilities at CD (assuming 3-4 weeks turnaround again):
straight 3's NW1X 5/25 @ a mile and a sixteenth (if you think 2 turns)
straight 3's NW2L 5/20 @ 7F *** This would be perfect, same condition as above but 3YO's only
straight 3's 50K 5/28 @ 6.5F
3&Up *the race you mentioned
