I hope you're not too attached to your heads.....



Wielding hooves like a pair of katana's and shooting glances as sharp as throwing stars, 2yo colt Samurai Jack hits the racing circuit for Otsego Farms this year.  Sired by Union Jack out of Affirm Gal, this handsome chestnut colt looks to follow in the footsteps of Captain Britain and You Know My Name, who were both sired by Union Jack and both scored victories as 2yo's last season.

Originally projected as our 4th best 2015 prospect, Samurai Jack has been moving up in the rankings due to excellent work on the track in training.  "Looks like he has a slight preference for dirt, although he'll run on turf as well", commented owner Jim Webber, who continued, "This is a quality racehorse, and I'd expect nothing less from a product of Union Jack."

Samurai Jack makes up one third of a triumverate of Union Jack colts that will compete in 2015, with the others being Jack the Ripper and Crackerjack.
