Satan's Grave at Crimson King Farm |
| CRIMSON KING FARM was owned by Peter W. Salmen Sr., who imported the Argentine mare *PAPILA and bred her to SPY SONG. Their foal, CRIMSON
SATAN, was born here in 1959 and became the Champion 2-Year-Old of 1961.
Retired to his birthplace, CRIMSON SATAN became an important sire of
precocious speed, carrying on the American male line of DOMINO. CRIMSON
SATAN's dam, *PAPILA (1943) is also buried here. Besides the champion,
she also produced the stakes winner Cardinal Sin (1954 by Papa Redbird).
The farm is now falling into disrepair. -- A.P. |
