Shake and Bake

We seem to have quite the little racing team forming here.

Last week, we asked for another good week and guess what we got.  An even better one! 

In Over My head went out and put up a mile in 2.04 with a 30 second last quarter to kick off the week.  Came off the track perfect and is ready to step right into a qualifier this Thursday (tomorrow).

Don’t Tell Wayne followed that up with his first lifetime win in only his second start.  I enjoyed watching that one on my phone in the backseat of my buddy’s car while cruising down the Interstate in Houston.  That was a first.  The best comment from driver Casey Leonard after the race was that coming into the stretch Don’t Tell Wayne wasn’t going to let the other two horses near the front beat him.  Gotta love a horse with a good racing attitude.  Sounds like someone else we know…

Much like last week we have some very positive tangible results, but we don’t want to get too carried away.  Mo put in a very nice training mile, but it was still just a training mile.  Lil Wayne posted his first win (made even more impressive as it was against all 3 year olds), but he did it in 1.59.1.  While we think he as more in the tank (quite a bit more) we need to keep expectations under control for our little racing team.

We are extremely thankful that the Franchise (Mo) and the Rookie (Lil Wayne) are both racing.  So thankful that when we got together for dinner last weekend, we sat down and said a special prayer.  I thought it would be a good idea to share it with the blog readers since I think it does a great job summarizing how we are feeling right now:


Shake n Bake baby!  After watching that I think we need to get Mo some sponsors. 

In other news, we hit a nice milestone on the blog sometime in the past week.  We are now over 8,000 views from over a dozen countries.  I hope you are enjoying the story.  I also hope that you enjoy what’s to come.  I have a feeling we have a nice little run ahead of us.

Let’s Go Mo!

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.
