The Legacy Lives On
Nearly half a century ago, Ernest L. Samuel began building a legacy when he founded Sam-Son Farm. At the heart of that legacy is an extraordinary band of broodmares, earning Sam-Son Farm 84 Sovereign Awards, including 2019 Owner and Breeder of the Year. Fifty years in the making, discover your opportunity to buy-in to Sam-Son Farm’s prized bloodlines, highlighted by 21 in-foal mares, at the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale.
"Ernie Samuel believed successful breeding was created by building an impressive broodmare band, believing the mare played a vital role with the overall breed equation."

Success In Red And Gold
Sam-Son’s iconic red and gold silks have been a mainstay in winner’s circles at racetracks across the United States and Canada. In its 50 years of racing, Sam-Son Farm has produced standouts like Dance Smartly, the first Canadian-owned and bred horse to win a Breeders’ Cup Championship, before being inducted into the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame. Then came Eclipse Award winners like Chief Bearhart and Sky Classic, followed by Smart Strike, a Grade 1 winner who went on to become one of the most influential sires of the 21st century.
