DT STABLE PARTNERS: 'Sumwon' Update
Chuck hasn't had a chance to post an update from yesterday, but he called me while Sumwonlovesyou was on the track at Fair Grounds. Our girl is doing very well according to C.S., and her lessons with a gag bit the last two weeks are paying off with a new relaxed approach by the previously bossy filly.
After jogging the last 10 days or so to learn that she didn't need to rush through her morning routine, Chuck had Sumwon galloping alone on the FG strip, the last horse on the track. Working yesterday WITHOUT the restrictive bit, she was more responsive to rider instruction, and after moving around the backstretch and turn in an easy gallop, quickened without being asked down the stretch; an indication that she knows where the wire is and understands her 'job'. In addition to the on-track progress, Chuckles reports Sumwon is dappling out and looks fitter on a daily basis. While she continues a growth spurt, and there can be some aches associated with that, Chuck feels there are no major issues with her right now. Now FG racing secretary Sam Abbey just needs to write a race that fits our interests ($30,000-$40,000 Claimers, 3yo-F, 1m or 1-16th on the turf).
