A certain Princess ... or is she now Blue Eyes ... is sure to go into mourning over this.

That sucks Lans. Very sorry to hear that. He was a special horse, ultra talented. Hope you get another one like him soon.

Sorry to hear Lans, but it sounds like it is for the best. Thanks for your time in sharing with us your experiences with First Sam. Best of luck with him in the breeding shed as well.

Lansdon, personally, I wanted to thank you for giving us a first hand look at life with Samurai over the last year, it sure has been interesting and fun. Good luck with the next phase of things!

I just read the book about Funny Cide (it was a gift) and how someone lost their hat
Sorry you lost First Samurai. I mean to racing. Hopefully he'll prove to be a better stud.

I've been away. How is everything else going?

Good I hope.

Take care

John

Lans, very sorry to hear this. I cant even imagine how much of a disappointment this must be to yourself, Bruce, Frank, and all others involved. I think that he is very well bred and could prove to be a very talented sire throwing both quick and stamina runners. As always, best of luck in your future endeavors in horse racing! Also thank you so much for keeping us updated with your horses - it really is great to read!
