Overview

Many people have asked me what it's like to own a racehorse. This blog is a play by play of one horse in particular. A three year old colt named In Over My Head that I own with my uncle...and although he doesn't have any dollars invested, my cousin is about as emotionally invested as humanly possible. It could end up being a story of success or failure, but if he's like all the others I've owned, it will no doubt be a roller coaster ride.

Successful Qualifier and Another Video

After what seemed like a few months (it was actually 61 days), In Over My Head was back on the track today! He qualified at the Meadowlands this morning with our potential new driver, Tim Tetrick, in the sulky. After coasting to an easy first half of 60 seconds, he turned it up and came home in 55.3 with a last quarter of 27.1. It was the perfect first qualifier off a break and we plan to give him one more tune up next week before getting back into real races the first week of February.

As we quickly approach the start of Mo's four year old season, I have one more video to share from when In Over My Head was up in Mineral Point. The week before Christmas, Danny started to do some light jogging miles with him and one day I rode along with him and took a little video. Give it a look and you can see what it is like to ride along with In Over My Head. Enjoy (youtube link below):
