Colt, First Samurai - May (Ghostzapper)
We started the year with goals of getting our first wins at Oaklawn Park & Saratoga. Well, we got that win at Oaklawn a couple of weeks ago, and now we added this big, strong 2yo colt to strengthen up the New York barn heading into Saratoga! We went to the OBS 2yo In Training sale and came away with a First Samurai colt out of the Ghostzapper mare, May.
We worked with our bloodstock agent, Frank Alosa, and our NY trainer, Mark Hennig, to nail down this awesome 2yo that breezed in :10 flat and has a great pedigree with a family that has produced multiple stakes winners. He was a STEAL at his $45K price tag. Here's a look at his breeze in Ocala...
He's already at Belmont Park...
What We Liked About Him & Game Plan
​
- We loved his breeze! For a bigger 2yo, he ran his :10.and :33.4 gallop out with a great stride and did it very professionally.
​
- He's got great size to him, with strong shoulders and chest. As an April foal, he still has some room to grow a bit.
​
- He was a highlighted sales prospect by our Pedigree Specialist, Jessica Tugwell. You can read her full analysis below.
​
- HARUSAKI has shipped to New York to start preparing for his likely debut at Saratoga this summer.
