Haskin Chat on Bloodhorse -Comments on First Samurai

Chat right now on bloodhorse.

I know there are First Samurai fans here, interesting that Haskin thinks he might be done racing. I would think they race him atleast 1 or 2 more times, but might be smart financially to just throw him on the farm.

I've always loved First Samurai, and I hated to see him fall from the spotlight. What do you see for his future?

It all depends on how quickly his cracked ribs heal. This isn't a common injury, so I don't know the recovery time for something like this. He had a hard-luck campaign, but proved last year, and in his first two starts this year, that he is a very talented horse. I hope he can make it back. But with his pedigree and his looks, he'd have to be 100% recovered for his owners to continue on with him. I'm sure he will be popular with the breeders.
