Trot Insider has learned that longtime Standardbred horse owner Irwin Samelman has passed away at the age of 87.

Trot Insider has not learned of any details as of yet, but has been informed by one of Samelman's business associates that the resident of Las Vegas, Nevada passed away last week.

Samelman, who has owned multiple top horses over the years, was part owner of Stay Hungry, who was voted as the top two-year-old colt/gelding in Canada in 2017.

Earlier this year, Trot Magazine selected Stay Hungry as its top selection in the 2018 NA Cup Spring Book.

Trot Insider will update this story with more information when it becomes available.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Irwin Samelman.
