Stall 44
It turns out that Stall 44, where Sumwon is, was the long time home to the wonderful JOHN'S CALL, double winner of the Sword Dancer, during his Saratoga stays...

Some interesting things I recall about JC:
John's Call was a $4,000 yearling who didn't win his first stake until age 8. He raced over the hurdles at one time. When Da Hoss returned from his 23 month layoff, he won a Colonial Downs allowance race by about a length, with John's Call running 2nd. The next month, Da Hoss won the Breeders Cup Mile for the second time.

What's pretty amazing about John Henry is that he won at least one stake a year from his two-year-old season through his nine year old season. At age 2: He won the Lafayette Futurity by a head over the filly Lil' Liza Jayne (who was 14-for-33 and a stakes winner at 2, 3, and 4) The 3rd place finisher was 24 time winner, and multiple Stakes winner Sound Note At age 3: John Henry won two stakes. One a 12 length victory in the Grade 3 Round Table at AP. The other a stake win at Penn National. At age 4: He won a division of the HP Russell Stake at Santa Anita At age 5: He won four Grade 1 races and 8 Graded stakes overall At age 6: He was a multiple Grade 1 winner on dirt and won three Grade 1's on turf, not including the ungraded inaugural Arlington Million. At age 7: Won Grade 1 races on both surfaces. At age 8: Two Graded Stakes wins, including a Grade 1 At age 9: Four Grade 1 wins.
