First Samurai, sired by European legend & 2000 European Horse Of The Year Giant’s Causeway, was one of the best juveniles of his year. He made a name of himself by winning the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont, the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga as a 2-year-old. At three he won the Grade 2 Fountain Of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park on track to contend in the Triple Crown races. Unfortunately, in 2006 he suffered from broken ribs while running in the Grade 1 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes and he was not entered into the Kentucky Derby. His career, cut short by injury, consisted of 8 starts, 5 wins, 1 place, and 1 third-place finish with total earnings of $915,075.

First Samurai has sired 4 millionaires including G1 winners and stallions LEA (1st place G1 Donn Handicap, 2nd place G1 Breeders Cup Dirt Mile, 2nd place G1 Woodbine Mile, 3rd place G1 Dubai World Cup), and JUSTIN PHILLIP (1st place G1 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap, 1st place G2 Woody Stephens, 2nd place G1 Vosburgh). In 2018 he sired 17.24% 2 Yr-Old Stakes Horses. His 2019 top runners include Cutting Humor (winner of the G3 Sunland Park Derby in track record time) and Bal Harbour (2nd in the G3 Monmouth Cup, 2nd in G3 Iselin S). Within the last year, First Samurai has had 291 runners totaling 166 wins with progeny earnings over $7 million.

In 2021 our 5 yr-old filly Kahiko had 9 starts finishing 1st five times, 2nd one time, 3rd one time, and 4th at The Claiming Crown Tiara at Gulfstream Park on 12/4/21.
