First Samurai is a thoroughbred race horse born February 2, 2003. He was a contender for the Triple Crown in 2006, but after his defeat due to a starting gate incident in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes he was ruled unlikely to race in the Kentucky Derby.[citation needed] Two weeks after the race, First Samurai was diagnosed with two broken ribs following an ultrasound. His entry was not submitted by the deadline for the Kentucky Derby, presumably due to his injury.
