Polecat, a 2yo colt by First Samurai, and Poppo, a 2yo colt by Smart Strike also broke down Saturday while training at BEL, and were euthanized.

A true hard knocker, Hewitts made over 400k in over 50 starts. I see he won at the beginning of October at Delaware Park for 5k claimers. I remember him quite well from his time on the So. Cal circuit. RIP Hewitts
