Rev,
That may have finished things up.. But I always felt that coming off the winter layoff, the huge effort that day at GP on the totally sloppy track, as heavy a horse as he was, really knocked First Samurai for a loop physically. He pounded down to the clay in that race, all out... Brothers had to really nurse him along after that.
Hopefully Lansdon will see this tonight and give his perspective, but that's the way I saw it this winter/spring...
