Wing, I was talking to Chuck on Monday about when he was thinking about running her back. 3 weeks is not ruled out entirely, but he wants to make sure of how she came out of the race. (And, in my own interest, if she runs back in 3 weeks, I won't be able to go.) The goal is to run her regularly, where she can do well every time, and not need to be turned out and freshened.
I'm sure Chuck will let us know how Sumwon is doing and what his thinking is. But I think he's a little busy right now... he's got a few horses running in the next couple of days.
I talked to a friend who was pissed with the ride Willie Martinez game Sumwon. I corrected him on that account, but the point is my friend didn't even bet on her, on account of how she ran in her last race (he bet and lost money on her that time). But he was still rooting for her and got excited, and this is a person who's been betting horses for decades. That's the magic of Sumwon.

Yes, you really need to know ASAP because you fly out. I feel like she is sitting on a win. Going back after the winner like she did. Did your friend think that Willie took her too wide? Steve said it was by design. Chuck's coment was something like... She was making everyone else run farther , Willie tried to shut off the rail but she was fooling around with her leads. I don't find fault in the race. I mean, "that's racing" now if he would have stood up before the wire and got caught ala Tyler Baze or Kent D... Willie Martinez is a good gate rider. I think he is a good match with Sumwonlovesyou. I don't know what do you think? When she goes to Cali we'll have to see if Jon Court is available.
I don't think I will fly out west but you never know. Like you say, "the magic of sumwon"
