Mo(hawk)

As a group, we haven’t seen In Over My Head in awhile. After spending much of last year with Greg up in Mineral Point, he got sent down to Florida to get back into racing shape. Laura and I went down to visit in late December, but shortly thereafter, he aggravated his suspensory injury and had to be shipped back to Illinois. It wasn’t until this weekend that he was visited by his ownership team when Greg and Danny headed down to Marrengo to see him. Mo had just moved over to the Butenschoen’s place after spending the last few months with the Leonards.

A quick side note, from what I hear the Leonards gave Mo great care when he was with them and if you happen to be reading this, we’d like to thank you for stepping in and helping all of us out. We very much appreciate it.

In Over My Head has always carried himself with a bit of an attitude. Not that he’s a jerk at all, he’s just pretty sure who’s the boss: him. As long as you go in with that attitude, no one is going to have any problems. Well, as Greg and Danny found out this weekend, he has also found a new way to express himself. Thanks to Danny’s fine camera work, we give you...Mo with a Mohawk:

As it turns out, Mo has decided that he wants to rock this mohawk on his comeback tour. Who are we to tell him no?

Danny got to take him out for a nice 5 mile jog and he is ready to start training down. We just have to wait until the weather stops being so rainy so the track can dry out. No rush, we've been waiting for well over a year. What's another couple of weeks?

In other news Laura and I are off to get married. Kentucky Derby day will also be our wedding day! So, I won't have any blog updates for a couple of weeks. HOWEVER, when we get back, there is a chance we could have both Mo and Seeknee no more than a few week away from a qualifier. You never know what will happen, but this is the closest we've been to a real race in a long, long time!
