The stallions are on elevated ground sort of like a pitcher's mound.

Also thanks to you and Chuck and Thebby for doing the right thing for the horse.

While I wasnt a part owner of this filly... she will always be at the top of my list as a favorite race horse, and horse in general. The summer of 2007 in Saratoga Spring was by far the best for me in the 13 years I have spent my summers there.. Dont think it will ever be as good. Not only was I able to spend lots of time with the beautiful filly, but I made lifetime friendships with tons of great people that I probably would have never met if it wasnt for Sumwonlovesyou.

The retirement news makes me sad, but we should all be so greatfull that she will be able to have a happy retirement and will be loved by so many across the country for the rest of her life!! Just make sure she gets that big butt of hers scratched once and awhile!!!!

you Sumwon!!
Thx Lori!~

This is really beautiful. I think Steve and Chuck did an amazing thing for all of you DT'ers.. Wow the joy your gal brought you really comes thru in your elegant poem. I hope she drops a great foal that will fill your hopes and dreams. This mare sure is the luckiest lady in the world..

Aw, that's great, Dell!

I remember seeing the big girl at Turfway, right after Chuck bought her - heck, I remember hanging by the computer with fingers crossed during the auction <g>

Thanks, Sumwon!

This is sad news, hope Sumwon enjoys her next career. Thanks to all who have made this possible, the good news is that we have some two year olds coming to help ease the pain.

Watched the CD race that Luke K called with Calvin aboard again last night.

The voice, the jock and our girl crossed paths for just minutes that day but I'll remember it for the rest of my life...

Calvin Borel in The HOF.....that's hysterical. He will probably get in right after Stew Elliot.

i just want to say thank you to steve and chuck and all of team simon for all you have done. chuck thanks for your patience on giving her one last shot at such a expense on your part. steve thank you for getting this stable rolling and giving us interaction and updates for a horse ownership which we would unlikely get from any other partnership at this level. beth thanks for all the care you gave her. cherie for working our girl and taking care of her at the track , you always go out of your way when we visit to give us great memories of our horses. and a thank you to all the other owners who helped make this possible

going to miss her at the track but looking forward to the future

sumwonlovesyou
