Look At Me!!!

Well faithful blog readers, it looks like we have a little jealously forming. Apparently, younger brother wants some attention. After seeing page upon page with stories of Mo, pictures from Marengo, stories of his training, poor young Seanie was starting to feel left out. We’ll, like any good younger brother (as most readers know, Mo and Seanie aren’t actually brothers, but since they share the same ownership, they fall into a similar ‘family’) he decided to do something about. What did he do? Well, he got himself ready to race in very short order.

Today, Seanie was scheduled to make his first qualifying start since last summer. Not only did he perform well, he did it in about 2 to 3 second faster than everyone thought and did it on his own. Take a look at the chart yourself.

Now is also a good time to remind everyone that Seanie’s real name is Showtime Shark, however, it is safe to say that his nickname will be used quite often. If you want to know why, here is a link back to the entry when we bought him:

Anyway, I know it is just a qualifier, but for the first time in about a year we can go on USTA’s entry page and actually see one of our horses listed. That, my friends, is what I call progress. Another qualifier next week and then Seanie should be ready to race for real.

So, to try and keep things fair, I will only make a brief mention of Mo this entry. He trained in 2:20 this weekend and continues to progress well.

Today, however, we celebrate Showtime Shark . In the ‘it’s a small world’ bit of information of the day, the #5 horse in Seanie’s qualifier Jus Being Joe (who finished 4th) is a half brother to (same mom as) I Am A Fool. I Am A Fool is In Over My Head’s sire. I may not be the only one to find that somewhat strange. Just a coincidence I guess…maybe the first of many. Rumor has it Seanie sent Mo a text message after the qualifier that said, “Ha, ha…beat your dad’s bro my first time out and I wasn’t even trying.” Gotta love a sibling rivalry.
