I am sad now. But I wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Best of luck to First Sam. I hope he makes beautiful and fast babies! Put him with some mares that have stamia in their bloodlines. The cross with FS's speed, oh what babies they will be!


Best of luck to you too LLbig! I hope you are ok with the loss (racing wise) of FS. May you have another one come your way!

Sorry for the tough news. FS was a joy to watch on the track.. I'm sure he'll enjoy his new career!

Landson, I'm sorry to hear that. I know you must be very disappointed and frustrated. It's always frustrating when injuries prevent your horse from trying to do what you thought he was capable of doing. This business is always a roller-coaster. At least you had a great run with him. He won some huge races. I know you didn't want things to end like this but you still have to be thrilled with all that FS accomplished. Hopefully you will have another as good as FS in the near future.
Best Regards, R.P.

just got in, ate dinner, and checked out the racing news, and saw about first samurai being retired.
as disappointed as we are to see him go, i'm sure it pales in comparison to you're thoughts about it.

can't do better than getting one to claiborne, a great farm that will give him every chance to succeed at his new career.
