Personality: Sam really caught our eye at the sales due to his calm nature. Compared to the other three year olds he appeared much easier to handle and almost thoughtful. When we were looking at horses we knew we wanted a horse which had the potential to win and it seemed that with his high level of maturity Sam was just the guy for us.
In training Sam has shown himself to be a star. He boxes well and doesn't kick up a fuss, leaves the gates at a speed above average and seems to throw himself into a race. This guys heart is big, and his love of affection greater. Knowing he will be rewarded, this guy hates to give and inch and tries to beat everyone out there by as much as he can.
When Sam first arrived he seemed a little nervous of his new surroundings, however he has settled down now. It seems that the noise of a crowd spurs this colt on, so we expect great things in the future.

On The track: This guy likes to place himself behind the front runner and stay there for most of the race, using the front runner in order to pace himself. Ifthe front runner bolts off he tends to place himself in the middle of the front runner and the pack. He has great heart and this helps him in the straight.
