Last Saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm eastern standard time (2:30 central) the culmination of 15 months of hard work, dedication and the support of over 50 members of a group came true with the first victory of a Dee Tee Stables runner as Kickin N Screamin won the fourth race at Arlington Park just outside Chicago, Illinois. Racing in the lime and royal blue silks for the fifth time, she rallied from second to last for a three quarter of a length victory at 7-1 odds. It was the 11 time that a Dee Tee runner had gone to the post with six starts from Sumwonlovesyou, six times last year with three 2nd place finishes and five starts from Kickin N Screamin with a second and third place finish. This small time racing partnership was the "brain child" of Steve Byk, who is host of the satellite radio show; "At the Races" and the man who was the creator of DerbyTrail.com, a inter-net website the is devoted to thoroughbred racing. Steve along with the help of Kentucky and Saratoga based trainer; Chuck Simon put together this racing partnership to bring together people who love the sport of thoroughbred and never thought they could become horse owners.
The idea from Steve Byk and the thoroughbred knowledge from Chuck Simon and his racing team has taken these two thoroughbred runners and given a group of people the ride of a lifetime. From Keeneland racetrack last April to Churchill Downs, Arlington Park, Saratoga and Tampa Bay Downs this winter, Dee Tee Stables and their merry group of people have enjoyed the excitement of thoroughbred racing and while our runners have come close in victory in the past, last Saturday in was realized. I myself can’t not find the words what this experience has meant to me. Never in my life, did I think I would ever own a piece of a thoroughbred racehorse. It was beyond my wildest dreams to ever think I would have a horse compete at Saratoga racecourse let alone be the post time favorite for the race. When the opportunity came up to have a share in our second runner, not only did I get involve but also brought two of my friends into the group. After watching the race last Saturday from the Gloversville OTB and cheering our filly on to victory will always have a special place in my heart. It took awhile, but finally our racing silks made it to the winner’s circle. If anyone could afford a partnership like this one, I say give it a try. The pleasure and excitement is well worth the investment and the payouts; win or lose are worth a lifetime of memories. This is the link to the race replay -
