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!

Hey at least he is good and sound. Unlike ole Barbaro who is a fight for his life each and everyday. Hope he finds a nice farm so he can run around and do nothing all day long. He left it all on the race track and that's all that matters Lans. Big Dog racing needs more guys like you and O helping the little guys along.

Sorry to hear the news Lansdon. I know how attached we get to these beautiful animals and they remind us constantly how fragile they are....
I, too, am finding that out the hardway as our two 2yo fillies are now both at the farm with one 50/50 whether she will ever make it to the races.


I know he will make a good stallion. Where will he stand???

Also, congrats on winning the CCA Oaks and also today's winner at Philadelphia.

PSH

Your insight has been a gift to all of us this last year. I'm wishing Sam nothing but the best in his new career, and here's to better fortune in the future.
