Aren’t you over-reacting a little bit?
Yes
We are only taking about a maiden race. It isn’t like Seanie was racing in the Meadowlands Pace!
I fully understand
One good race doesn’t necessarily mean that you are back.
I disagree
So what am I talking about you may be asking…before I get to Seanie’s second lifetime race, I have a little something special to share with you. It just so happened that there was a video camera in the car when Greg, Danny and I drove back from watching the race last night. I think it really captures our excitement so I posted it on youtube. Take a look:

I’m not really sure what to think about Danny’s song at the end, but it sure was nice of him.
So what are we back to you may be asking (or more than likely you’ve figured it out already)…we are back to the winners circle! Seanie made his second lifetime start last night at Pocono Downs lit up the board by winning at 16-1 by a head. Now, through the wonders of screen capturing technology, I give you Showtime Shark’s first win (he is the #8 horse and spends the first half of the race in 2nd to last):
Man that is fun to watch. I think all three of us have had a smile on our face all day today. It has been 522 days since the last time a horse Greg and I own has graced the winner’s circle. It was In Over My Head’s win on February 12, 2009. That is a looooong time ago. Now, we can finally focus on the present. We have Seanie who is showing some nice promise and Mo’s first start back is inching closer. The timing of Seanie’s win was good as Mo had a bit of a slow down in his training, but it is not anything serious. It will just be a couple more weeks. Until then, keep going Seanie…we need some more races to enjoy!
