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.

Not a Lot Going On...But a Quick Update

Well, I wish I had a little bit more to share with my loyal blog readers, but in a way no news is good news. In Over My Head had a great week of training last week due March-like weather. This week wasn’t quite as good, which is bound to happen with a Chicago area winter. Gary Rath is handling the training duties at the time with the Butenschoen’s down in Florida (lucky). It is kind of a fun reunion because the last time Gary worked with Mo was before his Windy City Pace victory. He thinks that Mo looks great and is training well, which means a lot given his past history with him.

In other news, I wanted to link an article about one of our past competitors (in the final race of last year). Last week, Well To Do Guru was named the Illinois Horse of the Year. Take a moment to read the linked article. Great story about a great horse and great people who take care of him. Hopefully we will get a few chances to race against him this year and even win a couple!

For the next few weeks, I’ll check in when I can and try to come up with a story or two. It is certainly harder to come up with high quality stuff during the off season, but we aren’t that far away from racing again. The target remains early to mid March.

Let's Go Mo!
