Update on Sumwon

Sorry for the delay in getting the blog updated but it has been very hectic this week. Sumwonlovesyou came out of her race in good shape. She has been alert and bright (possibly from the massive doses of sugar she has been fed the last few days) and seems like she is bouncing back nicely. We will send her back to the track on Thursday for a little jog and most likely do the same on Friday and Sat. I never train at Churchill in the day after the Derby because of all the debris and cleanup going on in the infield, so she wont get back to galloping until Monday.

I was very pleased with her race on Sunday. She settled quietly on the lead despite Willie having to ask her a bit early after breaking a touch slow. I was encouraged that she was so game after the #2 passed her on the inside, fighting back right to the wire. Sumwon may yet be better going 2 turns, especially if she can get an uncontested lead where she can relax without pressure. I will wait for a week to 10 days before figuring out where to race her next. I'm inclined to keep her at the level she ran in on Sunday but an allowance race at a lesser track like Mountaineer may also be under consideration.
