“Don’t ever underestimate the underdog.” When it comes to sports and horse-racing that term is used a lot. That line lived up to its hype on one Saturday night in July of ‘98 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

During that night, a colt by the name of Sealed N Delivered was the betting favorite to win the $1 million dollar purse. He finished tenth.

This night belonged to horse that goes by the name of A Day In A Life. In 1 minute and 51 seconds this pony co-owned by philanthropist and humanitarian Howard Schoor took home the Meadowlands Pace winning prize after leaving the starting gate and not looking back against the heavy competition.

Mr. Schoor who became part owner of a Day In A Life for $23,000 watched the colt finish the 1998 season winning 5 times in 11 starts and earning over a half a million dollars.

But that summer night at the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey was the greatest single moment as an owner for Howard Schoor who has owned horses for over 30 years.
