Sam - a brief history

I thought some (if anyone ever looks at this site!) might be interested in Sam's past life in terms of what kind of race horse he was and (the million dollar question) was he any good. I can clear this one up quickly now without you even having to look at his form below. He was, bless his heart, pretty hopeless. He has impecable breeding and went to a top trainer but I think his endless desire to know what is going on meant that he was too busy checking out the other horses and the crowd to ever focus on winning anything. So there you go, never a great racer but still worth his weight in gold (sorry got a bit emotional then :)
