    Lawman is an American western television series originally telecast on ABC from 1958 to 1962 starring John Russell as Marshal Dan Troop and featuring Peter Brown as Deputy Marshal Johnny McKay. The series was set in Laramie, Wyoming during 1879 and the 1880s. Warner Bros. already had several western series on the air at the time, having launched Cheyenne with Clint Walker as early as 1955. The studio continued the trend in 1957 with the additions of Maverick with James Garner and Jack Kelly, Colt .45 with Wayde Preston, and Sugarfoot with Will Hutchins. One year later, Warner Bros. added Lawman and Bronco with Ty Hardin.

    Prior to the beginning of production, Russell and Brown and producer Jules Schermer made a pact to maintain the quality of the series so that it would not be seen as "just another western." At the start of season two, Russell and Brown were joined by Peggie Castle as Lily Merrill, the owner of the Birdcage Saloon, and a love interest for Dan.

    The main sponsor of the series was the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company through their Camel Cigarettes brand. The alternate sponsor was General Mills. The two main stars did spots endorsing Camel Cigarettes and Cheerios Breakfast Cereal.

    Lawman (horse)

    Lawman (foaled 9 May 2004) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse. As a three-year-old in 2007 he won the Prix du Jockey Club and Prix Jean Prat. Since being retired to stud he has made a good start as a stallion, siring Group 1 winners Most Improved, Just the Judge and Law Enforcement. Lawman was trained by Jean-Marie Béguigné and owned by Claudio Marzocco and Ernesto Ciampi.

    Background

    Lawman is a bay horse bred by Petra Bloodstock Agency and foaled on 9 May 2004. He was sired by Invincible Spirit, a sprinter who won the Duke of York Stakes and Haydock Sprint Cup in 2002. Since retiring from racing he has become one of Ireland's leading stallions, siring Fleeting Spirit, Kingman, Mayson, Moonlight Cloud and Vale of York. Lawman's dam is Laramie, a daughter of Gulch who raced in two maiden races, finishing seventh and fourth. Lawman was purchased as a yearling for 75,000 and was trained in France by Jean-Marie Béguigné.

    Racing career

    Lawman made his racecourse debut on 12 November 2006 in 1600-metre contest for unraced two-year-olds at Saint-Cloud. He won the race, which was his only start as a two-year-old, beating Vespucci by two lengths. Lawman's first race as a three-year-old was the Prix Machado, a 1600-metre race run at Longchamp on 29 March 2007. He finished the race in third place, two and a half lengths behind winner Chichi Creasy and one length behind runner up Brooklyn Boy. However the second and third placing were reversed, moving Lawman up to second place. In the Prix de Fontainebleau, Lawman was held up at the rear of the field by jockey Olivier Peslier. He ran on in the final 300 metres and took fourth place near the finish, with the race being won by Chichi Creasy. In the Prix de Guiche on 9 May 2007, Lawman set the pace and quickened clear in the finishing straight to win easily by two and a half lengths from Holocene, who just beat Chinese Whisper and Hurricane Fly to finish second.

    Lawman

    Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time
    my old man's gun has never been fired
    but there's a first time & this could be
    this could be the first time
    Law man
    you know you look to be a lot younger than me and
    I'd hate to shoot a baby
    you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow
    and it could be
    it could be a good time if you change your mind
    well I'm tired and sweet from making love
    and it's just too late
    you'll have to wait
    bring your business around here in the morning
    well I've heard your line
    & you've heard mine
    & I'm just too tired to take a side
    bring your business around here in the morning
    Don't you want to be easy look there
    let some of the things you see go on by or
    you can burn them into your brain go on home
    Don't you see the children, they're just like you
    they want everything to be fine but they let it slide
    and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
    Law breaker you know it could be me
    & if you had your way we'd all be down
    under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound
    & you can see now the old hands won't move around
    one way or the other,
    fool card brother this could be,
    this could be, the first time.
